Rebecca Ferguson: ‘I had to toughen up to survive’

Rebecca Ferguson has admitted that she had to toughen up to survive in the music industry.

The Former X Factor contestant told the UK's Daily Star that she’s a different person from the girl who auditioned on The X Factor in 2010:

“I can’t watch my first audition because it makes me too upset. I just think it is really sad. I look at myself and don’t recognize myself. I do think fame and fortune changes people.

“I have had to change because the girl in that audition wouldn’t survive in the music industry. I have had to toughen up a lot.”

The 26-year-old, who releases a repackaged version of her debut album Heaven next month, went on to advise any future contestants to take more control of their careers.
