She has appeared on numerous TV programmes including most recently ITV’s ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ where the judges loved her and gave her a standing ovation, taking her through to the semi-finals; as well as ‘Celebrity Come Dine With Me’ and ‘The World’s Greatest Magic’, in 2023 she also made the semi-finals of America’s Got Talent. Her string of mad, disastrous tricks and ridiculous jokes leaves everyone in tears of laughter.

Completing the line-up is the warm and witty Kris Davies, a wonderful storyteller and musical genius.

Compere for the night will be James Cook with his sharp tongue and dry sense of humour he previously worked as a presenter on commercial radio stations, went on air with A-ha and presented Lenny Henry with his ‘Walk of Fame’.
