Sophie Ellis Bextor was so hated at school that children formed an "Against Sophie" club.

The 30-year-old singer - whose mother Janet Ellis presented UK children's TV show 'Blue Peter' - admits she used to brag about her mom's career, but soon stopped when she realised how unpopular she was.

She explained: "Was I popular? No, complete opposite. There was an 'Against Sophie' club. It's pretty cruel, but they were interested at first, 'Oh your mum's on TV,' and then it was, 'Hang on a minute, she's the only one who's got that so we can all gang up on her,' and stuff like that.

"That was in my infant school so I think I was about five or six. I can't say it was brilliant, but at the same time I probably was a bit of a show-off about it because I thought it was brilliantly glamorous."
