Emma Bunton switches on Covent Garden Christmas Lights!!

Emma Bunton – the voice of this year’s official BBC Children in Need single, ‘Downtown’ - will be performing the song live before she switches on the lights at Covent Garden Market this Thursday.

Emma, tipped as one of the favourites to win the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing show that is helping to raise money for the Children In Need Appeal, will be on stage on the Market’s West Piazza during the countdown – and will then flick the switch to light-up London’s biggest Christmas Tree. Be sure to be there for 6:00pm. Emma is onstage at 6:30 and the lights go on at 7:00!

Emma says: “‘I'm really excited to be performing at Covent Garden Market and switching on this year's Christmas lights. “At such a festive time of year, everyone is in great spirits, and this event should really get the party season off to a great start! I hope to see a big crowd singing and dancing along this Thursday!”

The show – to be staged throughout Thursday afternoon – has a strong song and dance theme and will include Simon Cowell’s new classical music creation, Angelis and performances from the award-winning West End musicals Chicago and Disney’s Lion King.
