Diva extraordinaire and current X Factor winner Sam Bailey will be performing on the main stage at Brighton Pride.
Having captured the hearts of the nation with her spellbinding X Factor audition rendition of Beyonce’s Listen, Sam went on to win the tenth series in 2013.
Since then Sam has topped the charts with her single Skyscraper and her debut album The Power Of Love as well as performing on the X Factor Live Tour and supporting Beyonce on the UK leg of The Mrs Carter Show World Tour.
Not bad for a married mum of two who before her X Factor audition was working as a prison officer in Leicestershire!
From her early days working on cruise ships and at festivals, Sam always followed her dreams and never lost faith in her talent, believing there was always a chance waiting for her. The X Factor became her dream maker, shining a light on her remarkable talent as a singer.
Pride programming director Dulcie Weaver, said: “We are thrilled to have secured Sam Bailey for Pride this year especially as she is expecting a new baby! Sam not only has an amazing voice, but is one of the most popular winners of X factor. She is such an inspirational hard working woman.”
Sam’s performances on the X Factor Live Finals were some of the most memorable in the show’s ten year history climaxing with her live finale duet with Nicole Scherzinger making Sam, X Factors untimate dreamgirl!
Tickets sales for Pride this year are running ahead of all expectations and with more businesses helping Pride with fundraising the organisers hope they can really smash last years total donated to the Rainbow Fund.
