The stunner previously admitted that she wished she had released more music throughout her career. 

She told The Sun: ‘I probably haven’t put out as much music as I would have liked to and should have over the last 25 years.

‘Sometimes you’re only ever as good as your last record and time is a very interesting thing, it just goes

‘Even though I came out at the end of the 90s I’m always considered a 90s artist, I didn’t quite make the noughties.’
