SHE has the voice of an angel, recorded her first album at 15 and wowed them in Hollywood - but Holly Holyoake is facing one of her biggest gigs yet tomorrow.
Eighteen-year-old Holly, of Duffryn, Newport, will sing the national anthem before Wales play France at the Millennium Stadium.
After successfully performing in front of the crowds at the Wales under-21 matches in Newport this season, the soprano was asked to stand in for Katherine Jenkins who was originally due to sing before the final Six Nations clash.
Holly's extraordinary talent has won recognition in the United States as well as this country.
She was the only British entrant in the World Championships of Performing Arts in Hollywood last year and walked away with gold in the open category and bronze in the opera and broadway musical categories.
A video of her singing I Vow to Thee My Country, which impressed the judges in America, was shown on Classic FM TV.
