Growing up in an Italian family you use a harsh tone and 10 minutes later everybody forgets about it.

In five years' time I'd like to be a mum. I want to settle down and have a family definitely sooner rather than later. I'd like to have finished my second album too maybe even my third. I'd like a sound that sticks around that other people are inspired by and that people know is me.

When families are strong and stable so are children - showing higher levels of wellbeing and more positive outcomes. But when things go wrong - either through family breakdown or a damaged parental relationship - the impact on a child's later life can be devastating.

My family frankly they weren't folks who went to church every week.

Mistakes are painful when they happen but years later a collection of mistakes is what is called experience.
