SINGING starlet Zoe Birkett's first nationwide tour will be broadcast on prime-time television tonight.

Zoe, 16, from Darlington, will be seen with the other Pop Idol finalists in one of the shows from their recent tour.

The youngsters, including Geordie train driver Aaron Bailey, performed in arenas across the country in a big band extravaganza.

Zoe will be seen performing her version of Judy Garland's Be Happy and a duet with Gareth Gates, in the ITV programme.

Since the Pop Idol tour finished last month, Zoe has announced she will be on the road again soon.

In October she will support a tour by Pop Idol winner Will Young and Gareth, which will include a return to the region with a date at Newcastle Arena.
