Chart topping singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor has revealed she performed at an intimate concert for the late Dame Deborah James to help the star celebrate as she made it to her 40th birthday.
The milestone birthday was one that Deborah didn't expect to make after receiving her terminal cancer diagnosis, and she celebrated hitting her 40th with a party at home in London surrounded by her nearest and dearest loved ones – including Sophie, 44.
Sophie, who's hit Murder On The Dancefloor was a special favourite of Deborah's, has recalled performing at the 40th birthday which she described as "amazing" but also "emotional" and "significant".
