It’s nice to glam up, but I love watching Gogglebox with a takeaway, says Pixie Lott

SO, you’re one of the showbiz world’s most gorgeously-glamorous couples.

How, then, do you love to spend an evening?

According to Pixie Lott, life with hunky model fiancé Oliver Cheshire isn’t always as glittering as you’d imagine.

“We love ordering a takeaway and sitting down to watch Gogglebox and Embarrassing Bodies,” laughs Pixie as she settles down to chat to iN10.

“Sure, we really enjoy going to fashion weeks where we get a chance to glam up, but it’s really a very ordinary, low-key life a lot of the time.

“Having said that, we have SO many clothes and bags and shoes we’ve accumulated over the years.

“I’m still in the same flat from when I was 18 and we’ve got so much stuff that the place gets messy really quickly and I’m looking to move. We’ve kind of outgrown it now.”

Oliver is one of Britain’s most famous models, having shot to prominence as the face of Calvin Klein. Dolce & Gabbana, Gap and Marks & Spencers are among his other clients, the latter finding swimwear sales rocketing by 50% after his scantily-clad appearance.

It means Oliver – as well as Pixie – gets lots of attention, but she insists girls throwing themselves at him aren’t a concern.

“I’m not a jealous person. We’ve been together for a long time and one of the most important things in a relationship is trust. So I don’t ever bother,” she says.

Oliver popped the question with a big diamond ring last November, just after she had stepped off a flight from Los Angeles.

“It was a magical day. I wasn’t expecting it at all,” reveals Pixie, who endearingly admits she can’t think of anything that drives her crazy about Oliver while running through a list of her own shortcomings (timekeeping, losing things and messiness being three).

“When he said, ‘I’ve brought you here for a reason’ I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, is this what I think it is?’

“I was really jet-lagged but when he went down on one knee I was so surprised and happy I cried my eyes out.

“We’ll have been together seven years next month. I was a teenager, so we’ve grown up together. We know each other inside out so it definitely feels like the right time.”

The big day will be next year and she concedes they’ll have to start planning properly soon as she doesn’t want a rushed affair.

What’s making it difficult, though, is former Strictly quarter-finalist Pixie’s incredibly busy – and varied – career.

Last year was taken up with her West End acting debut as Holly Golightly in a new stage version of Breakfast At Tiffany’s.

Then there’s the new music that she’s been working on. And her role as a coach in ITV’s The Voice Kids, which starts on Saturday.

Baby is the single Pixie and top DJ and producer Anton Powers have released and an LA-shot video for a special acoustic version has just been launched.

She performed the single a couple of months back on the final of The Voice and it’ll be one of the tracks on her fourth studio album that’ll be out next year.

Having shot to fame with No 1s Mama Do, Boys And Girls and All About Tonight, it’s been a while since music was her main focus.

But she says she was always going to be returning to her roots.

“Music is definitely my number one. I love dancing, I love acting but I wouldn’t be able to live without music.

“Singing and being out there performing with my band is where I’m at my happiest.”

Pixie has collaborated with Stevie Wonder and John Legend for her music and has also made her catwalk debut.

Fashion magazine shoots – including a racy one with Oliver – have been on the agenda, too.

But it was the Breakfast At Tiffany’s that took up her focus last year and gave Pixie her biggest challenge.

“I never get nervous before I go on stage to sing, but I remember being so nervous and excited before the first night,” says the Bromley-born star.

“My comfort zone is being with my band, I’ve been doing it for so long it’s second nature to me.

“This was something totally different and it felt alien, although it was still on stage, which I love.”

Pixie and the cast had spent three weeks in intensive rehearsals, additionally having to learn to play the guitar for the character.

Watching the classic 1961 film with Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard, wasn’t on her to-do list.

“The play was based on the book and it was darker than the movie. I didn’t want to watch the film and get stuck in doing a rubbish version of that.

“The second half was really emotional and I had to put myself in that place every night. I was excited when I got the role but when I saw the script I thought I’d never be able to do it.

“I really didn’t think I’d come out the other side. But I did and it made me feel I could do anything.

“If you just stay in your comfort zone, you’ll never grow as a performer or a person. So now I’m going to do as many challenges as possible.”

The Voice Kids is a spin-off from the blockbuster talent show, now being shown on ITV.

Emma Willis, who presents the main series, is hosting once again with ever-present coach will.i.am in one of the famous spinning red chairs.

He’s joined by Pixie and McFly singer and guitarist Danny Jones.

The hopefuls on this pint-sized version are all aged between seven and 14. And Pixie says she was blown away by their talent.

“You won’t believe some of them, it was unreal. I’ve really enjoyed being there and seeing what they can do.

“There are definitely up and downs in this business and I think it’s important for them to learn that. I learned from a really young age about rejection and not getting through to auditions.

“You can’t put everyone through in The Voice and I’ve had to remind them that even the biggest stars haven’t always had yeses. Sometimes you need to nos to make you come back better.

“In the long run you need those. But nothing I’ve seen in my career has ever soured it for me. If I ever stopped enjoying it then I’d have to pack it in altogether.

“I’ve been doing it forever and there’s no sign of that so I feel it’ll never die. It’s just a part of me.”

Finding young stars isn’t just something Pixie does for the cameras.

Admitting she’s “obsessed” with unearthing talent, she stages a monthly acoustic music night at her local pub and runs a performing arts school each Saturday for kids as young as two.

“I love being around and feeling their energy. They’re inspiring,” she adds.

“It’s like a hobby away from the spotlight and as I started out really young, I know exactly how it feels to be in their position.

“And at the acoustic night, you get up and coming talent, some so good I get goosebumps. Seeing them progress gives me so much.”
