A popstar shared the stage with pupils before setting off on tour with JLS.

Singer Hatty Keane is supporting the boy band on the 19 dates of their farewell tour around the UK.


Before she set off on tour on her 19th birthday, she popped in to perform at Helena Romanes School in Dunmow.

The visit was part of her work with charity DARE (drug abuse resistance education) which sees her deliver a drug and life skills educational message to her young fans on the Inspire The Kids tour.

Lucky Year 8 children were able to get on stage and dance while Hatty performed three songs, including a cover of Rita Ora’s hit RIP.

Hatty, who has also supported Olly Murs, said: “I am only 19 so I was not in high school that long ago and know what the pressures are like on these kids.
“But, my role is to help them to understand the facts about things such as alcohol and smoking and show them you don’t have to do those things to be cool.”
