I wanted to have a go at a pop career. My first single, 'Baby I Don't Care', was a hit, and the second, 'Bye Bye Boy', reached the Top 20.

When I found out I was pregnant, I was over the moon about it, but I was upset I wasn't married!

I used to be such a daredevil but now I'm much more cautious.

I'm comfortable with my body but I don't like my bum - I think it's too big.

A lot of my family are redheads, but I'm a dark blonde.

People were incredibly kind to our family and went out of their way to help.

Both my parents were amateur badminton players. My father is a scientist and wanted me to be a doctor. But my mom was very aggressive and loved badminton. She pushed me right from the age of nine to take up the sport.

Five years ago, Samira did not want to continue in the regular school system in Iran. To help her with her education, I set up a home school. It wasn't just for my family, it was open to other friends.
