The makeup artist turned singer admitted that she struggled to find the perfect clothes as she was always big in size. Reportedly, she says, "Launching a clothing line is something I've wanted to do for a number of years."

I have felt so comfortable with the stylists during my X Factor experience. If nothing fits me, they are fine about it. They never make me feel degraded or overweight."
