No. No. I don't listen to anyone except my ... inner child anyway. If someone had said to me, Amy, lose a stone which they wouldn't - I don't think I would have listened anyway.

I'm always happy to blow up any misconceptions that people have about stage school cos everyone thinks it's really nasty there but it's not.

Relationship doesn’t remain, We resonate on different flames, I could cut you down again, If you were like all other men, If you were like all other men, I know that I could shut you down again

People say my content's mature, I don't think it's mature at all. I'm just a normal 20 year old. I'm opinionated.
