A TALENTED youngster is preparing for two shows this Christmas.

Jordan Louise Roseberry, 12, is to sing at the switching on of the Christmas illuminations in Sunderland today.

A pupil at Durham High School for Girls, she was invited to perform after winning Sunderland City Council's No 1 talent contest.

She will sing All That Jazz and All I want for Christmas is You, at the Sun FM roadshow at 6.20pm, outside Sunderland Civic Centre.

Jordan, who has been at Durham High School for Girls since she was four, is a keen performer in school productions.

She appeared in July at the Gala Theatre, in Durham City, as Kurt in the Sound of Music, and is playing Chanticleer in the school's production of Canterbury Tales next month.
