Speaking to the Daily Star, she said: I’m not looking for love. I’m definitely concentrating on work. I wouldn’t have any time to date at this point. I am way too busy.’

She added that her partner Carlos doesn’t want her to have any distractions as they rehearse.

She laughed: ‘Carlos is saying no. He wants me in the rehearsal room with no distractions. To be honest I’m just ready to go in that direction and have no distractions.’
