"I couldn’t really take it in before, but it’s only as it’s getting closer and we’re finding out all the details and things, that I’m starting to realise that this is huge, it’s amazing!
"I don’t think I’ll actually believe it though until we’re stood in Windsor gardens and then I’ll be like, wow, what an acheivement!
“What a thing to be a apart of, it’s history.
“I’m really lucky that we have managed to get my partner, John-Phillip, down and my daughter, Sofia, to watch.”
Lindsey has previously performed with Dolly Parton in Tennesse and in Vegas doing shows, as well as on cruise ships.
