Nikki Sanderson Quotations

Luckily my friend took charge of the situation,

I enjoy playing a bitch. Secretly, there's a part of me that wants to be like that.

I've seen certain cast members naked, but I won't disclose their names.

At drama school nobody cared what shape my nose was and if I felt down I could be someone else for the day.

I know what it's like to be bullied. During the first couple of years of high school, I got a bit of bother... Because my nose sort of slants up a little bit lads at school would call me a 'Pig' and oink at me.

I can be sweet and nice, but every girl likes to look sexy and be a bit raunchy sometimes.

I used to go to the same club every week in my home town, and even there I'd always stay at the back of the queue. I never once assumed I could just walk in.

I know parts of all the decades come in and out of fashion, but you never get to wear an entire outfit exactly how it was.

Never say never - you don't know what's going to happen in the future.

I once had a letter from a man who asked to do something very weird. He told me he wanted to sit on my shoulders and for me to then walk around his town to raise money for charity. He described himself as being 6ft and I was thinking, 'I'm only 5ft 4in, and you want to sit on my shoulders?' How bizarre.

People are mostly very nice, and I always say hello. I'm laid back, so I don't mind. I think if people watch the show and want to say hi, you've got to be nice.

I don't understand people who won't sign autographs or have pictures taken.

I'm not a big drinker and I don't smoke either. I've only been drunk a few times, but I did moon my friend once. I had knickers on! I'll leave the real mooning to the boys.

Since being 17, I can honestly say I've only been ill twice on drink. I stop when I feel happy, so I don't throw up.

My chosen drink would be a Southern Comfort, lime and lemonade, a dry martini or a good red wine.

I'm not very firey, but when I go, I go. I don't shout, I just get upset.

I get really irritated with crap drivers, so the last time I got cross was probably behind the wheel. I'll shout from the safety of my car, with the window up, but if anyone ever got out and challenged me I'd be terrified.

No woman is completely happy with their body.

If I see someone I'm in awe of I'm like, 'Oh my God. Oh. My. God.' But on the outside I'm very calm. I'd never run up and hassle anyone.

The most wonderful person I met was John Travolta. He's one of the ultimate movie stars of all time.

The scariest time of my life was when I knew my Nana was dying. It was horrible, as there's nothing I could do to stop it. I grew up living with my Mum, brother and Nana (my mum's mum), so it felt like I lost a parent rather than a grandparent. It makes you realise the fragility of life.

I was quite into biology and chemistry at school, and I did well in my maths, so I quite fancied a career in forensics or something like that. But I bet if you put a maths exam paper in front of me now I wouldn't have a clue.

The most annoying thing I found was all the people pretending to be me on MySpace and Facebook. I'm not a member of either, but apparently there is an 'official' Nikki Sanderson MySpace page, complete with rants about how terrible identity fraud is, which is ironic.

I have body hang-ups - but I work the best of what I've got.

Taking part on this show is a million miles away from my normal acting jobs.
