Katherine Jenkins

Katherine Jenkins (born 29th June 1980 in Neath, Wales) is a mezzo-soprano, who came to wide public attention in 2003 when she sang at Westminster Cathedral in honour of Pope John Paul II's silver jubilee. She performs operatic arias, popular songs, musical theatre and hymns, and has sung at sporting events, on television shows and in support of many charities.
Jenkins made a cameo appearance in Emmerdale as the celebrity guest to open the paegent organised to celebrate the village's 500th anniversary in May 2007. Prior to her appearance, a cover of the Judy Garland song Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas she performed was used as incidental music in the penultimate scene of Episode 4555 (26th December 2006), which showed the various suspects in Tom King's murder.
Since appearing in Emmerdale, she has made numerous other television appearances such as a judge on the ITV talent competition Popstar to Operastar, a leading guest role in the 2010 Christmas special of Doctor Who and as one of the presenters on the BBC's religious programme Songs of Praise. In 2012, she took part in Dancing with the Stars, the U.S. version of Strictly Come Dancing, and finished as the runner-up.
