I've never really been the type to dress up like the other girls do. I'm more of a casual, relaxed kind of girl. More athletic.

I was always the tallest girl in my class, and it made me have really bad posture because I wanted to seem shorter than I really was. It really reflected how I felt about myself. I spent most of my youth in school feeling really insecure about the way I looked because I was different.

Pageant makeup is so different from your day-to-day look. When you're on stage you really have to pack it on.

Modeling and pageants help me overcome feeling insecure about the way that I look and my height.

I am a sporty person who loves to go to the gym, train, play football.

We play a lot of tennis, and we work out at the gym three or four times a week. As you get older, you feel those aches and pains, so Advil's become a friend in the house.

My parents wanted me to stay in England because they love the football here and how the people feel about football. It was important for them, too, that I stayed in the Premier League.

We do get to do what we love. I think that's really special, and I think sometimes we get really caught up in the winning and the losing and rankings. And at the end of the day, we get to play a sport that we love for our jobs.
