Rebecca Ferguson has said that she struggled to adapt to her first year as a celebrity.

The singer finished in second place on the seventh season of The X Factor in 2010, catapulting her into the public eye and putting her in an abnormal situation.

Speaking to Digital Spy, she said that she has become happier as time has gone on, despite her initial struggle.

“The biggest mistake you can make is not staying grounded,” she said. “You’re elevated so high so quickly, but the key to their success will be being nice in interviews, kind to the people who look after them.

“It’s so hard in the first year after the show. I’ll be honest, there are times where I could be a real bitch. I’d gone from being a mum to all of a sudden having people fussing and overly pampering me. It can easily change you.”

She advised:

“The key is being nice. Now I have a great team and we’re all happy!”

Rebecca’s new album Freedom came out this week, and is projected to chart inside the Top 5 this weekend.
