Men outside of the business feel a bit intimidated and find it difficult to cope with me being recognized and photographed in the street. And men who are already famous have their own career pressures to think of. I’ve been single for quite a while now. Sure, I’d like to change that but I’m not going out to look for it. I want to concentrate on my career at the moment. Pop Idol made me a star but it’s also made my love life hell.”
