Leeds singer aims to hit high notes on BBC1 show All Together Now

Ashleigh McHugh, 22, was selected to take part in All Together Now where she has to sing in front of a judging panel of 100 people – led by former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell. The judges rate the act if they want to sing-a-long too.

She will be singing Who’s Loving You by the Jackson Five after having an audition via Skype where she sang two songs before being invited to London for a further audition.

Miss McHugh from Wortley sang for 12 different judges before they picked her for the final cut and decided what song she would be singing.

She said: “I saw something about it on Facebook and it went from there. It was quite intimidating to do because there were 100 judges but it was enjoyable and of course I hope that something will come out of it.”

Miss McHugh added she is forming a career as a singer and currently sings and gigs at local pubs and clubs.

She added: “I have been singing for as long as I can remember but started doing it seriously when I was 17. I studied performance at Wakefield College but taught myself the rest of the time.

The programme will be shown tonight at 7.15pm.
