Katherine Jenkins returns to her primary school in Neath, South Wales.
Singing sensation Katherine Jenkins returned to her old primary school, Alderman Davies in Neath, to surprise pupils as they had a special preview of this year's Doctor Who Christmas Special. In the episode, a BBC Cymru Wales production, to be shown on BBC One on Xmas Day, Katherine makes her acting debut alongside Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Michael Gambon. 14/12/10 Katherine Jenkins (born 29 June 1980) is a Welsh lyric mezzo-soprano. She is a classical-popular crossover singer[1][2] who performs across a spectrum of operatic arias, popular songs, musical theatre and hymns.[3] After winning singing competitions in her youth, Jenkins studied at the Royal Academy of Music, modelled and taught voice. She came to wide public attention in 2003 when she sang at Westminster Cathedral in honour of Pope John Paul II's silver jubilee. Since 2004, she has released numerous albums that have performed well on UK and foreign charts. In both 2005 and 2006, her albums received Classic Brit Awards as Album of the Year. She has also been seen widely in concert, including concerts for UK troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and has sung at sporting events, on television shows and in support of many charities. As of late April 2012, she was still competing on the US television show Dancing with the Stars.[4]
