00:00So lovely to see you. You look like a rock star. I feel like you always do, though.

00:04Oh, thank you.

00:05I'm going to admit something quite bad. This is my first ever Summertime Ball.

00:09Is it?

00:10I know, it's quite shocking.

00:11It feels like my first.

00:12Does it?

00:13It's my first solo.

00:14Well, yes.

00:15And I haven't done it for seven years. So I'm like brushing off the cobwebs, you know?

00:19Well, that's true, actually.

00:20I know, yeah.

00:21I was thinking you've done loads, but then not solo. So how does that feel, then?

00:24It's really scary.

00:25Is it?

00:26I'm really excited, but I'm scared. I feel sick. All of the above. All the emotions wrapped

00:31up in one.

00:32But your voice, honestly.

00:33Oh, thank you.

00:34I'm always like, how nice! It's so good.

00:36Oh, thank you.

00:37You're such an amazing performer. It's funny to hear you say you're getting nervous.

00:40Oh, that's really sweet. I think it's because I care so much. So if my vocal's not 100%

00:45or I miss a step or whatever, I'm like, ah! But that's because I put pressure on myself,

00:49which I shouldn't. I should just go out and enjoy it.

00:51How long is the set?

00:53I think it's about ten minutes.

00:54Okay.

00:55Which is hard when I don't have any songs out.

00:57So I've got Forget About Us, and then I'll be teasing my next single, and then a cover.

01:02Oh, can you say what the cover is? Are you not allowed to yet?

01:06Shall I?

01:07It's going out on.

01:08Yeah.

01:09Yeah.

01:10So I'm covering Whitney, which is scary, and I'm also doing it at a key higher. Yay, me!

01:13Right, now I understand the nerves.

01:15So now I'm like, oh, okay.

01:17Why have you done this to yourself?

01:19I don't know! And why am I dancing at the same time? Ah!

01:23This is just silly, really, isn't it?

01:25So does it feel weird, then, doing this solo without the girls? Is it when you've got each

01:28other, is it a bit more of a comfort thing?

01:30Yeah, definitely, but I've dragged my best friend Renee out there with me, so she's a

01:34dancer, so I'm like, as long as I've got all my girls with me, and I've got my band, then

01:38I'm happy, rather than just feeling bare on my own out there. So yeah, I am excited.

01:42And the second single, that's nearly out as well. It's all gone so fast, hasn't it?

01:46I know! Next single's on Friday. I feel like Forget About Us just came out, so it's crazy,

01:52but I'm really excited for this song, because it's so different to the first, so hopefully

01:57everybody loves it.

01:58And I take it, obviously, you and the girls are in constant contact.

02:01Yeah, they just messaged me. Jade was like, good luck, babe, with the little pixie fairy

02:06emoji, and I was like, you're going to smash it? I'm like, this is weird. It's bizarre.

02:11Well, apart from the Whitney thing, you've got nothing to worry about.

02:14Yes, thank you.

02:15You're going to be amazing. I can't wait to watch your performance.

02:17Thank you, thank you so much.

02:18Nice to see you.

02:19See you.

02:20Bye!

02:21Thank you.
