00:00Asda found out that Liscard hasn't had a Christmas tree for quite a few years, so they've come to

00:08the rescue, they've roped me in and we are bringing the festive cheer. One of the starting

00:13points of Christmas is going into your local high street and watching the Christmas lights be turned

00:17on and it's really unfair that some people aren't getting the opportunity to do that, so the fact

00:21that Asda's been able to come to Liscard, provide this beautiful tree and get me involved, it's just

00:26really exciting. Asda wanted to support Liscard this year because historically we've been known for

00:33not being the most Christmassy town in the UK, but with everybody suffering through the cost of living

00:39crisis this year they just felt they were going to bring us that little bit of sparkle. Tonight we've

00:43got choir singing, we've got music, we've got food and we've got the lighting ceremony of the tree.

00:50Events like tonight are really important because it brings everyone together and it makes everyone

00:56really happy. Lots of people have challenges in their life and it's fantastic to give people a

01:02reason to get out and mix with other people and get involved in the community in a positive spirit.

01:08One of my first ever performances was right here in Liscard as a young girl, so to come back all these years

01:14later after all the success I've had with Atomic Kitten, it feels really special.
