'I love someone who is confident and knows what his goals are in life'

'I like meat on my bones, baby!'

OSCAR-WINNING ACTRESS JENNIFER HUDSON, 26, ON LOVING HER CURVES AND HER HIGH STREET ADDICTION

I need an independent man – all independent women do. I love someone who is confident and knows what his goals are in life. A man who doesn’t just think about the present, but the future.

There’s more to a woman than just her weight. I’m no fan of the size zero look. I love my curves. I like meat on my bones, baby!

I’m a shopaholic. I find it really therapeutic. In the UK, my favourite place is Topshop – I can spend thousands there! I can never have enough clothes.

My one skinny feature is my eyebrows! I don’t have enough, so I draw them on. MAC Eye Brows is perfect for adding volume. I’m forever slicking on lipgloss too. My favourite is Christian Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Pearl Shine Collection.

I have fragile skin, so I bruise easily. Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Body Lotion, £2.34, is great for making skin look flawless. I use it to get rid of scars and bruises.

Jennifer’s new single, Spotlight, is out on September 22.
