Every time I get photographed, it’s the legs. So I’ve insured them for a lot, for รด?5 million each. Is that enough? – Eliza Doolittle
I like to wear colourful clothes because they make me feel happy: short-shorts with funky tights and big jumpers are what I’m into. And I wear most things with hi-top trainers – I’m not a huge fan of heels. – Eliza Doolittle
As soon as something becomes ‘trendy,’ I go off it. I hate the idea of being a sheep and just following a look because I’ve been told it’s fashionable. Individuality makes the world a much more interesting place. – Eliza Doolittle
