She told BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour: "I'm glad that people are being nice about me rather than nasty, but... I very much think this would not be happening if I was a man. "It is nice that people are saying nice things about my appearance, and not nasty things.
"People would not feel it necessary to comment on my looks so much." But on the other hand it's really sad that they feel the necessity to say things about my appearance at all."
She also revealed that a men's magazine had approached her for a photo session.

"So of course he sent them an answer saying, 'seriously mate would you give your sister's contact details to Nuts?'."
