‘Now I’m on a dating site and I still haven’t come across any of them because I’m too nervous. Believe it or not, I am very shy in that regard.
The star revealed that she is not willing to settle for “nothing less” than the man of her dreams, although she does not have “a type” when it comes to appearance.
She added: ‘Physically I don’t have a type. I’ve come out with everything across the board …

She said: ‘Work ethic, drive, passion. I don’t care what you do, I just love it. Do everything one hundred and ten percent.
‘A good moral compass. Just a good person. It is very simple what I am looking for, but that is difficult. Simple qualities are more difficult to find.

“Now, I’m at the point where if I know someone, it is better that they really elevate my life, because I love being single.”
