Question from Hamish: Happy New Year Angellica. What did you do for Christmas?
Angellica Bell: Well, I had nine days off. I just tidied my room and bought some shopping as I never have food in my house. I didn't eat too much though, I was being very good. I rested and opened my presents with my family.
Question from Ben: Did you get along with your teachers?
Angellica Bell: At first my teachers thought I was a bit larger than life, a bit cheeky because I always laughed and made the class laugh. I always did my homework though so they loved me. And I was made Deputy Head girl. It's good to show your personality without being too bad.
Question from Andrew Barnes: If you went on holiday when you were in school and could take one friend with you, who would that friend be and why?
Angellica Bell: That's hard because I've never had a best friend, I've always had loads of friends. If I'd known you at the time Andrew, you could have joined me. Maybe I could have fitted all my friends in my suitcase.
Question from Will: Hi Angellica. What football team do you support?
Angellica Bell: I love football and I try and play regularly. I don't know which team I support but I love watching good football. When the World Cup's on it's always England but I'm open to persuasion.
Question from Rachel: How did you revise for exams when you were at school? I'm revising for my GCSEs at the moment and I'm finding it really difficult and tiring. Have you got any tips for relaxing and getting good grades?
Angellica Bell: Last minute! The night before, because I believe that short term memory is brilliant. It worked with me. When I got to exams, I never read any notes - what you don't know then, won't go in. Sometimes you have to use your common sense in these exams. There's not always a set answer, you just have to think. I was quite lucky and did really well at school.
Question from Lucie Stevens, Canada: Was school boring for you?
Angellica Bell: No, school was a laugh. Any situation you're in you can make good. I got involved in activities, I was in the drama group and did singing. I always liked to have a laugh and play a trick on someone too.
Question from Claire Gwilt: Did you have to play hockey at school, or which sport did you play?
Angellica Bell: I played hockey, netball and I did a bit of running. I loved all sports. I used to play squash as well and I won a badminton competition. I love sports now too. I'm in the process of training for the London Marathon at the moment. I'm dreading it, I can't sleep!
Question from Frizz: Sounds like you were popular at school but did you ever get bullied?
Angellica Bell: Never, although I got into arguments with friends. At primary school you get isolated because your friends don't want to talk to you when you fall out. I would always hold my head up high and stand my ground. Never be afraid to stand up for what you believe in or tell people, as you'll always feel better in yourself. Bullies are weak.
Question from Matty Biggs: Can you remember anything from any of your classes?
Angellica Bell: In biology we had to do an iodine experiment and we had to use the bunsen burners. We had all our protective stuff on but I overheated the mixture and it went everywhere and broke the test tubes. As you can imagine I was on the floor in hysterics!
Question from Barry Baines: What characteristic do you most admire in other people?
Angellica Bell: Honesty, people who are passionate about something, a sense of humour and people who treat other people how they'd like to be treated. A smile always helps too!
Question from Martin Carter: What was your fave subject at school?
Angellica Bell: Probably maths because there's always one answer, it's either right or wrong. I had to put my mind to it, but I loved calculators and things you could press!!
Question from Andrew Barnes: Did you ever get detention in school and what for if so?
Angellica Bell: Never! I've never had a detention in my life. There's an art in passing the blame!
Question from Bongoboy: Did you enjoy your childhood?
Angellica Bell: Yes. Looking back it was pretty cool.
Question from I Love Harry: What one thing in your life would you go back and do again if you could?
Angellica Bell: Practice my piano and cello. I could be playing in a really cool orchestra by now! I wish I'd believed in myself too. I thought I was just anybody but I think everybody is somebody.
