I felt like a proper pop star because we did these individual bits with a guy with a SteadiCam and we had to give it loads as we sang to the camera. It was just how you imagine it when you're young. We were all dressed up too. I had a dress and shoes on for the first time ever and I felt like Kylie Minogue. It's just a real party video."
