I don't regret being topless in certain things, but there were some things in 'EastEnders' where there was no reason for me to be topless.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I try not to be topless any more because I don't want that to be my thing.
I don't really want to do topless stuff anymore.
When I left EastEnders, I could have earned an absolute fortune from sexy calendars, shoots for lads' mags, fitness videos and reality shows. But I always turned them down.
As the youngest of six kids, I grew up spending summers on Martha's Vineyard, and I was always topless. All the pictures are of me in jean shorts, no shirt - with my brothers, playing football.
I've always considered myself the best and the top. I never considered that I was out of it.
I was on 'Desperate Housewives' and that was my crash course on being on national television topless. Also, I do what I can in between scenes: push-ups, a little free weights. I knew going in it would be a big part of the show.
I've just gone through so much in my life that pulling my top up just doesn't seem like that big a deal.
Even at my peak, I never went too over the top.
I have never been one for the over-the-top.
I would never pose topless.
