Recently speaking to CD:UK magazine, Jen described how since becoming a Kitten, fewer men are getting to know her closely: "I get chatted up less nowadays...It's not often I go out and when I'm out with Tash and Liz, we scare men off.  When I go out with my friends they're so protective they look at any guy like he's some weirdo stalker".  Jen also mentioned how hectic life had become: I knew before that being successful in a band was a mixture of hard work and and good luck, but I had no idea how mad our lives would get this year."
