Yesterday she took to the stage at the Bradford Academy, a secondary school in the East Bowling area of the city. The performance starts with her singing pop songs which the pupils will know before doing a question and answer sessions about the dangers of taking drugs.

She has been a singer since the age of 16 and first appeared on stage at Bradford’s Alhambra Theatre aged eight. Her tour of schools saw her perform at 15 secondaries before Christmas.
