For some years it had been forecast that Lloyd Webber would write a stage musical or film for her based on the life of Jessie Matthews, the graceful star of many 20s and 30s musicals. However, in 1994 the composer dropped his option on Michael Thornton's biography of Matthews.

----------

One of her most successful albums has been 'Timeless', which came out in 1997. This album spent an unprecedented 63 weeks on the Classical Crossover chart, with 36 of these weeks in the top spot. The LP would go on to garner 21 Gold and Platinum album awards with worldwide sales of more than three million albums.

----------

Was number 10 in the list of Britain's highest-earning women in the year 2000 netting £4m.

----------

Owns a library of nearly eight thousand CDs.

----------

Her father committed suicide. He was found dead in a fume-filled Golf GTI.

----------

She was teased a lot at school not because she was irritating, but because she was very gifted and there was jealousy.

----------

At 16 she was a member of Pan's People, the group of girl dancers that in their heyday had pranced around on Top of the Pops.

----------

Her favourite author is Anita Brookner. She loves the angst in her books.

----------

Her duet with Andrea Bocelli, Time To Say Goodbye, sold five million copies worldwide, and stands as the biggest selling single in history in Germany.
