ISIS bride Shamima Begum has revealed she 'didn't feel like herself' in her hijab as she asks the UK to allow her to stand trial for terror offences.<\/p>\n

In her first-ever live television interview, the now 21-year-old looked rather different wearing Western clothes with her hair visible and painted nails.<\/p>\n

The east London schoolgirl who fled her home in 2015 to join the so-called Islamic State terror group in Syria had her British citizenship revoked by the Home Office on national security grounds.<\/p>\n

However, she now claims she is getting back to her old self and believes she can be better.<\/p>\n

She said: "I'm in a different camp, obviously. I have friends now. I have a security shield now around me with my friends and I feel more confident in myself.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"I obviously don't have my son anymore so I only have to think about my safety so if I do get attacked for taking my hijab off, it's on me.<\/p>\n

"While I'm in this camp, I'm trying to change myself. I'm trying to better myself, because I can."<\/p>\n
