Girls Aloud's Nicola 'content'

Girls Aloud's Nicola Roberts has said she's more confident than ever about her appearance. The singer admitted that she's had to cope with constant criticism about her looks since finding fame in 2002. She revealed the remarks would make her cry, and even question what her boyfriend thought of her. Nicola said in an interview: "I stopped being so fixated on becoming this pretty, bronzed, blonde commercial-looking woman and started to lean towards wanting to be individual, left of field and different. "I am never ever going to look like that, so what's the point? What happened is that I so desperately wanted to look like that it was messing my head up, so I started to sway to the other side." The singer launched her own make-up range earlier this year to cater to paler-skinned women.
