As today is the last day of the year and decade, I thought I would share the songs that have built me over the past decade from Country Music and other genres especially musicals. Back in March 2010, Miranda Lambert released one of my favourite songs that she has ever released and one that inspires me every day. The House That Built Me is one song that I instantly can hear on the radio and brings back a lot of memories of my childhood along with the lyrics. You can listen to The House That Built Me here . 2013 was the year, I first discovered The Shires and it's been wonderful to see their growth within the UK Country Music scene up until today. Brave was a song for me that has bought me a lot of strength and one that I still play whenever I am struggling. You can listen to Brave here . Laura Oakes is a Liverpool born, Country Singer/ Song-writer who I first discovered back in 2015 and I saw her live in the December at an intimate show in Milton Keynes and my god w

MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone reading this and I hope you all have had an amazing day surrounded by your family and friends. A couple of weeks ago, Letitia Dean admitted  in an interview that the Christmas Day episode has a lot of twists and turns that even she didn't see coming which for me makes me really excited which makes me really excited. Everyone knows how dramatic an EastEnders Christmas Day Episode is for all us viewers but this year's in particular is set to be more emotional and heart-wrenching than ever but  only time will tell as we all sit down and watch the episode. I n tonight's episode, viewers Phil Mitchell reveal to his wife, Sharon that he knows the truth about her affair with his daughter Louise's fiancé, Keanu Taylor who is also the father to her unborn baby. Tonight's episode was written by Pete Lawson and directed by Toby Frow. In the first scene of tonight's Christmas Day episode, viewers saw the camera pan over Albert

It's FINALLY Christmas week and the tensions in Walford are running high and reaching a fever pitch with all the Sharon Mitchell/ Keanu Taylor drama as Phil Mitchell nears closer to the truth this week. Tonight's episode saw Louise Mitchell start to realise that maybe her fiancé was cheating on her after a chat with her brother and father in the cafe. As Phil then started questioning Lisa Fowler. Tonight's episode was written by Lauren Klee and directed by Toby Frow. For me Christmas week, couldn't have started in a better way especially knowing that Lauren Klee is kicking off the dramatic week with one of her wonderful scripts. In the first scene of the episode featuring any of the Mitchells was in the cafe where Louise Mitchell was sat at a table with her father, Phil and brother, Ben where Louise were seen to be telling her family that she has no time for this with her daughter coming home from the hospital tomorrow but that doesn't stop them asking

It was the most honest group of songs I’ve put out to date, so I’ll be honest I was genuinely sacred about how people would react. I genuinely wore my heart on my sleeve and I just had to hope that people were gonna understand me as a person and I’m turn relate to the songs via their own subjective experiences. This EP for me was so special

Jake Morrell is a great guy and a great friend of mine. He

Last night saw Ex-EastEnders actress, Jacqueline Jossa crowned The QUEEN of the Jungle on ITV Show, I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here... I have supported Jacqueline since her journey began on EastEnders back in 2010 and I am so glad the I'm A Celeb audience got to see the incredibly caring and wonderful human that is Jacqueline. The following that Jacqueline has gained whilst doing I'm A Celeb has been wonderful to see especially when you know that everything the audience have seen is exactly what Jacqueline is like. All of the trials Jacqueline had to do showed the audience what a brave woman she is. I loved the fact that Jacqueline wasn't afraid to fangirl over being in the jungle with Caitlyn Jenner knowing how much of a Kardashian fan she is. Caitlyn and Jacqueline's friendship was beautiful to watch because they genuinely seemed to care about each other. I remember the first episode of this year and being worried that Jacqueline was going to sa

With the announcement on Tuesday (3rd December) that EastEnders actress, Tilly Keeper is leaving her role as Louise Mitchell. I am very sad by this news but I have decided to bring you my favourite TOP 10 scenes.  EastEnders viewers have seen Louise Mitchell go through so many struggles over the time, Tilly has played the character. 1. I'm Your Dad! I really struggled to chose a favourite scene with this scene from Tilly as Louise because this scene and the second one. However, back in January 2016 when EastEnders viewers first got to meet Tilly as Louise was when she was in the school hall moving the gym mats around when Phil walked in, in a drunken state where Louise was shocked to hear someone calling her name and when she turned around it was in fact her father, it was the facial expression from Tilly that got me. This scene for me was full of a lot of emotion and hate between the characters because you could really see that the characters loved each other but at the sa

In last night's EastEnders episode, viewers saw Louise Mitchell go into labour all alone as she went to look for her mum, Lisa Fowler who Louise believes is having a mental breakdown who discovered from Jack Branning that she had actually checked her in. Back in April, EastEnders viewers discovered that Louise Mitchell was pregnant with then on/ off boyfriend, Keanu Taylor who lets be honest hasn't been entirely with his now fiancée, has he? Because Louise's step-mum Sharon Mitchell is also expecting Keanu's baby - which isn't known to any of the Mitchells however, over recent weeks viewers saw Lisa Fowler blurt out to Phil Mitchell that he isn't the father of Sharon's baby despite her telling him it was his thanks to something deceased Mel Owen said. Tonight's episode was written by Jonny O'Neill and directed by Laurence Wilson . In the first scene of the episode, viewers saw parents-to-be, Louise Mitchell and Keanu Taylor about to have the big
