The truth is, I'm a bit of a grandma. I'm all for romance but I love the idea of being at home with a Netflix series, some good food and that special somebody.''

There are many things I still want to do and I'm still so young. There are so many roles I'd love to take on but as I become more well known, I want to continue to use my influence for good, she said.
