Pixie has admitted to lying about her age for auditions when she was on the verge of finding fame. She said: "I used to be in local productions and be singing and putting myself out there and I used to go to auditions, too. I saw one in the newspaper looking for the next 'Pop Diva' and knew that I had to go. It was miles away on the other side of London and you had to be 16 and I was only 14, so my mum refused to take me, but I pestered and pestered her until she finally gave in. I lied about my age as well!" Lott also used to pretend to be a student in order to get student discount when she went to the cinema - it all got a bit awkward when she went to see one of the Twilight films and was recognized because by then she was quite famous.
