The You Had Me hitmaker, 28, who is usually guarded about her private life, has revealed she suffered heartache when she split from an ex but found love a year ago with a mystery recording executive.

She tells British magazine Event, "Our relationship is very passionate, very up and down. I annoy him, he annoys me, we split up every Thursday and then make up. But he challenges me and I totally respect him, he's as strong as I am, he knows his own mind...

"I always thought I wanted kids, seven kids. But now I'm thinking that having a baby would not be right. It's not enough to just want one. It has to be right. The relationship I'm in with the man I love is too stormy, too passionate. I care too much about my unborn child to bring them (sic) into that. Kids need stability - I don't have stability."
