1. Heartbreak sucks, even when you're a celebrity/hot model/screen goddess It's not often that celebrities pour their hearts out, particularly when it comes to talking about a time when it was shattered into a billion pieces. Alexa's had a few high-profile relationships and admits to only dating lead singers of rock bands. So how has she overcome that earth-shattering heartbreak? With a little advice from her mum. And Google. The moral of the story? Everyone goes through it. Even Alexa Chung.
2. Always approach your idols, they might just give you life-changing advice

She asked her for man advice. We won't spoil it for you, but believe us when we say that we're sticking it onto our fridge door, too.
