I can finally talk about what Ive been up to the past few weeks. Ive been tucked away in a studio recording an album with the fabulous@mrsteveanderson.
“I know I always appear to be super confident (another mask) I actually lost confidence in myself when it came to singing.
She continued: “As a mummy I stepped back with my singing and stage career to make sure I never missed precious moments with my daughter.
“It was a moment last summer when I was singing in the shower when Betsy my 9 year old daughter said to me mummy, why have I never heard or seen you sing on stage?
