"My love life is nonexistent," she laughs. "I've never really been on my own, but boys will come when I'm ready."

She says messages from admirers keep arriving on social media, but she's not interested in engaging just yet.

"They message me and I feel bad, but I just can't be bothered to reply. Some of the messages I've had... Honestly, block!"
