Personal Life
In a 2007 article which appeared in The Times, Teal stated that she had recently lost about three stone (19 kilograms) in weight after discovering that she is affected by Polycystic ovary syndrome. She considers herself lucky because her record company Sony never asked her to lose weight. She says
I think it’s quite exciting that in this day and age, and in an industry where there is so much pressure to be thin... They’re just interested in my voice and my music.
Since losing the weight she has started wearing clothes on stage designed by Antony Price.
Teal came out as a lesbian while she was at university. She lives in Bath with her girlfriend. In 2007 she said that although she had lived in Bath for more than a decade, she still feels like a Northerner, saying she is "never not from Yorkshire".
