This December she has brought out song Christmas Lights in a bid to appear alongside the likes of festive music heavyweights Michael Buble, Wham and Slade.

"She came downstairs and sang me another one the other day.

"She also plays guitar, piano and plays the drums, as well as being part of a music theatre society.

"She's very busy and she'll be back in the studio next month to create an album."
