Girls Aloud's Nicola Roberts feels comfortable enough to leave the house without make up and thinks "people take it too seriously". 

The 'Lucky Day' singer, who has her own cosmetics line named Dainty Doll, revealed to Britain's Star magazine that it's important to be able to just be herself and not crack under the pressure to appear perfect all the time especially with young and impressionable fans watching her every move:

"Of course I'd leave the house without make-up! People take it too seriously. This is why I love twitter. Last week, I left the house feeling crap. It was just one of those days - my hair was bad, I hadn't had my coffee and a girl tweeted: 'You make it OK for girls who are different to feel good.' It was really sweet. It puts the bad hair days into perspective."

She also added that she's learned to embrace her ginger hair and now loves the fact that she is known for something and stands out:

"I love being known as the ginger one! It would be so crap if I didn't have ginger hair. It's been my special thing since I was little.

"Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on ginger hair. There's a saying: 'Not everyone has to love you, but as long as somebody loves you, then you'll be OK.'"
