The Born to Try songstress revealed it was ‘so special’ to be back on a stage following months of their ‘bunker-down sessions’.

‘I saw the set [of the Christmas special] and I really feel like it is a dream come true to get to do this, I am very grateful,’ she said.

She will be giving back to families who’ve been impacted by the drought, bushfires and pandemic this year, with the help of Tourism Australia.
