She was awarded the OBE for services to music and charity work, celebrating her ten years in the music industry, and her fundraising efforts. She flew to Camp Bastion in Afganistan to meet troops and perform two special concerts, and also raised more than £25,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support by running the London Marathon.
