I've been on both sides: the victim and the villain. I was the victimised model, and everything from my weight to my fertility was held up for discussion. And then I was the person that could garner some kind of positive outcome, by taking on the role of vice chairman of the British Fashion Council and becoming an activist of body image.

I seem to disappoint people a bit. They want the full regalia - but I don't walk around in a corset the whole time.

Fear has been my biggest friend. Fear of the unknown. Whenever I've been afraid, I've been very self-protective.
