Interview: Heather Peace, actor and musician

What's the last piece of clothing you bought?

A black trilby that's covered in sequins.

Best ever bargain? A grey woollen overcoat that I got for nothing for playing a detective on Holby City.

Who has great style? My friend Bliz who lives in Australia. She always wears things two years before I really catch on.

Name your favourite high street shop. Urban Outfitters and All Saints.

What are you addicted to buying? Watches and belts.

Any fashion disasters you'd care to tell us about? I was going out with a very girly girl who persuaded me to wear a tiny red jersey dress to the birthday of a friend. I looked ridiculous and have never been allowed to forget it.

What's your favourite item in your wardrobe? A brown leather military jacket from All Saints. I got it for half price in LA, after loving it here in the UK but not being able to afford it. Thrilled!

Peace is playing with Jill Jackson at the Classic Grand, Glasgow (www.classicgrand.com) next Friday at 7pm; Cabaret Voltaire, Edinburgh (www.thecabaretvoltaire.com) next Saturday at 7pm. Tickets 16.50, www.tic ketweb.co.uk
