The 31-year-old opera star said that although she wanted a successful singing career, she never sought to be a celebrity.
“I didn’t ever want to be a famous celebrity, I wanted to be a singer,” she explained to Good Housekeeping magazine. “I could leave the fame side of it. I didn’t ever imagine that I’d get a six-album deal, but I got into this and it’s a learning curve - nobody teaches you.”
She added that her love of privacy also extends to her relationship with fiancé Gethin Jones.
“We are private in what we do. We don’t go out with each other because we want publicity. We’re together because we want to be. It’s hard trying to get people to understand that.”
