Family Christmas plans with Michelle Heaton

By Claire Muffett-Reece

We caught up with the singer to find out all about her Christmas plans

I LOVE PERFORMING IN PANTO

‘The best thing about starring in panto has got to be seeing the kids boo or cheer – either lets you know you’ve done your job properly. I’ve only ever wanted to be live on stage. No matter how tiring it can be my kids are growing up seeing me doing what I love. It’s really important to me that they know you can have a family and do what you love in terms of a career.’

I DON’T KNOW WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

‘I originally wanted a new Mac for Christmas – but I’m so impulsive I went and traded my old one in the other week! Having said that I’m always happy with my favourite make-up, perfume – or shoes and handbags! In all honesty I’d love a chilled Christmas. Each year as the kids get older there’s always some sort of drama. I just want everyone to be happy!’

WE ENJOY FESTIVE DAYS OUT

‘No matter where I’m performing panto in the country we always make time to visit Lapland UK. We’ve been going for six years now and it’s the most magical thing ever. Apart from that Christmas is normally spent in the UK. I did take my mum to Jamaica about 11 years ago for the holidays and we had an amazing time.’

MY ONE PERFECT GIFT

‘If I could give one amazing gift to anyone this Christmas it would definitely be for my little boy, AJ. I’d want him to be able see properly. He’s having tests right now to figure out why, but he’s really struggling at the moment and his schoolwork is suffering because of it.’
