Sinead O'Connor went to The Guardian HQ yesterday to take part in a live webchat where people get to ask her anything they like.

She is currently promoting the release of her new album 'I’m Not Bossy, I’m The Boss' which is out on 11th August.

The singer, who is famously outspoken and sometimes controversial, agreed to be grilled for a whole hour by the general Internet-using public.

The Guardian website described the singer as being "from a difficult childhood, when she was abused by her mother and sent away to a Magdalen Asylum" and how she is now very "vocal about big issues that other musicians refuse to touch: tackling child abuse, war and organised religion in her lyrics and interviews."

We all know what the Internet holds for an outspoken celebrity like Sinead O'Connor but she was well able to handle them...

When asked Ms O'Connor claimed she 'never thinks of anything else' other than working with singer Van Morrison again. But then added 'well, sometimes I think of other things. Like bathing, shopping or eating. But not very often.'

She virtually 'yawned' when asked how she felt about Ireland’s constitutional position of “neutrality”.

If marooned on a desert island, the thing she would need most would be......her tweezers!

She claims she has a 'bit of both' when it comes to having an 'inney or an outey' (referring to belly buttons we hope).

When one man plucked up the courage to pop the question she politely refused saying she's 'not wife material'.

When asked if she would have made it big if she had started out in 2014 she didn't hesitate to say yes and add 'because of my enormous boob job. You can pump them up and down you know, depending on your mood'.

On a more serious note, when asked if her perceptions of the Israel and Palestine conflict had changed since she wrote the song If You Had A Vineyard, she replied that 'there's no scriptural support for the way that Israeli authorities treat the Palestinian people. In fact, quite the opposite.'
