Pop star Michelle Heaton has admitted that there is just one thing missing from her life - romance.

The 22-year-old has hit the big time with her band, Liberty, but says she is still looking for that special person.

Michelle, who most recently dated TV star Gary Lucy, from the soap opera Hollyoaks, is eager to find true love.

The singer, from Gateshead, said: "I'm young free and single at the moment, so I'm going to try and enjoy myself, but hopefully I will find love on the horizon. "It's on my wishlist - my New Year's resolution is to find true love. It's strange being single."

Michelle, whose first taste of fame was on the Popstars TV show which launched the band Hear'Say, is finding success with Liberty, made up of those who just failed the Popstars audition.

Their new single, Doin' It, is climbing the charts.
