Kate Nash: 'I'm the new Posh'

Kate Nash is throwing off her "chav" label and has declared herself "the new Posh".

The singer said the media had wrongly decided she was working class: "I think the press really wanted me to be a chav because of the way I sing. I’m way too articulate to be a chav. I’m the new Posh, me."

But, in contrast, Nash argued it was important for stars not to be too skinny and to have substance.

"I think it’s nice to have a girl who isn’t standardly pretty and thin in magazines," explained Nash. "It’s good to have someone with beliefs and principles, who isn’t afraid to say what they think.

"I like to be positive and well-behaved. Good with a bit of sass. I’ve been brought up well by my family. I respect things and I think it’s a good way to be."
