Akkineni fans are the best.

My mam worked for 41 years. She was a single working mother. I think I always had that mentality of you can do everything. You can have your kid. You can be a good mother. You can work. She was very independent.

If a guy looks in the mirror more than I do it's a bad sign. I like scruffy, but not smelly.

I don't like men who try too hard.

You kind of wonder when you play a role, will people go 'Oh, is that part of you?'

When you talk about our good and bad mental health stuff, it makes you realise you're not the only one feeling that way. It's OK to talk; it doesn't mean you're crazy or abnormal in any way. In fact, it's the opposite.

Everyone reacts to things differently but just identifying in your own life, what works, seeing what doesn't, is as important for to you to talk about your own mental health.

If I'm on my phone and I'm feeling quite negative, maybe I need to not be on my phone so much.

You know what, being in my 30s is so much better than my 20s.

I'm already really aware and self-conscious of my accent.

I snack on almonds and always make sure I have some with me. I hate being hungry.

I've always thought of myself as a strong person. However, it's taken me a while to fully find my voice.

Winning the MTV search and becoming the face of MTV News was so refreshing. I travelled the world, constantly meeting interesting people, and I quickly learned that this kind of news was more fun and made me feel less sad.

I like knowing what's going on in the world - even if most of the time I feel helpless.

I'm still learning new things about myself every day.

We don't have to eat the best food to survive: a basic diet will get us through. We wear clothes to stay warm and hide our modesty, they don't need to be the latest designer collection.

If you are the best you can be, you are doing your best.

We're all human, and growing up you learn that the world isn't always kind.

My number one thing is be kind to yourself. We can't control what other people do, we can only control what we do.

The dishwasher is the best invention in the world, I didn't grow up with one so it's my prize possession in the kitchen!

I'll wear one dress and someone will be, 'That's a gorgeous dress.' But my mother will be, like, 'What were you wearing? It looked like a chicken.'

We're very lucky that we have such on-trend high street shops in the U.K. as sometimes higher end designers aren't very practical for day-to-day wear.

I used to get bullied for being so small. I was really short until I was 16, then I grew a foot taller.

My only hope is that we can all try and be kinder, always show love and listen to one another.
