“There was no other option, I've always had that drive in me, I've always had that belief, I came out of that womb with jazz hands…” Diana Vickers is sat in a large Russian hat backstage at the Kiln Theatre - with Kilburn particularly pinched by the Baltic weather - but she’s not talking Russian, she’s talking in a Lancashire accent that seems to exude its own kind of warmth, or at least is delivered with such rapidity the air molecules are vibrated sufficiently to heat the room.
“…I wasn't gonna let anyone stop me. And I haven’t changed, no. I feel like I've always had a fire in me. It can be to my own detriment sometimes, like nothing's enough. My friend even said to me, you can't even relax when things are going right. I'm always like, everything's really good, but what's next?”
