The first single I bought
I remember going to Woolworths in Bishop Auckland in County Durham to buy 5, 6, 7, 8 by Steps. I’d put it on repeat and practise the dance moves so that when we got to the school disco, everyone would say: “Follow Scarlett. She knows what’s she’s doing.”

The song I do at karaoke
I can’t sing, so I do karaoke to encourage anybody after me. Once they’ve heard me murder Lovin’ You by Minnie Riperton, they’ll think: “At least I won’t be as bad as her.”
