Pixie gig is
Strictly for
Scots fans
POP babe Pixie brought the
Lott to Scotland yesterday.
The 23-year-old announced a new
album, performed live and did some
Strictly Come Dancing filming at the
Radio Forth Awards in Edinburgh.
And she took to the stage at the Usher
Hall to shouts of: “Pixie Lott for the
Strictly crown,” as the BBC show recorded
her singing new single Caravan of Love.
Pixie, who is tipped to win the show with
partner Trent Whiddon, said: “It is the
Charleston tonight which is my favourite
dance. This is a proper show dance.”

Admitting she is struggling to score her
second full 10 from the judges, she added:
“It is really hard because I feel the
choreography they give me is really fast.”
Pixie also mourned last week’s loss of
fellow contestant Judy Murray – because
tennis star Andy’s gran would send in
treats for the contestants.
She said Judy’s mum, Shirley, made
shortbread which “would just cheer
everyone up.
“I don’t know what we are going to do
® by GAVIN DOCHERTY
without it. It was the magic that would
keep us going.”
British synth pop legends Erasure
opened the Radio Forth awards show
with their classic hit A Little Respect
before being presented with the Forth
Icon Award.
Hot newcomer George Ezra,
21, landed a double win – Best
Performance Award and Best Artist
Award – before singing hits Blame It
On Me and Budapest.
The Hertford heartthrob admitted
that since his success with his
debut album Wanted on Voyage, he
has surrendered his student rail
card for the top-of-the-range tour
bus for him and his band.
“It is glamorous from the
outside,” he said. “But 12 of us
sleep inside like coffins.”
And he said his absence from the
new Band Aid Christmas single
was down to a clash of dates.
He explained: “Bob Geldof asked me to
come aboard but I had a gig that day.”
