Charlotte Church

Charlotte Church is a Welsh singer-songwriter, actress, and television presenter known for her successful classical career and later transition into pop music. After singing ‘Pie Jesu’ on the television program This Morning at age 11, Charlotte Church quickly became a vocal sensation, appearing on ITV’s Big, Big Talent Show in 1997. This led to her signing with Sony Music and releasing her debut album, Voice of an Angel, in 1998. The album, a collection of arias, sacred songs, and traditional pieces, sold millions worldwide and established her as the youngest artist to achieve a No.

Expanding her career to television, Church hosted The Charlotte Church Show on Channel 4 from 2006 to 2008, earning a British Comedy Award for Best Female Comedy Newcomer in 2006. She became Patron of The Topsy Foundation UK in 2007 and returned to music with her album Back to Scratch in 2010. More recently, Church released a series of EPs: ONE (2012), Two (2013), THREE (2013), and Four (2014). She performed in a BBC adaptation of Under Milk Wood in 2014 and authored opinion pieces for The Guardian in 2015 and 2019.

In 2018, she appeared in the BBC documentary Charlotte Church: Inside My Brain. Church founded The Awen Project in 2019, an educational charity focused on democratic learning in natural settings, demonstrating her commitment to social causes. Church has continued her television presence, appearing as ‘Mushroom’ on The Masked Singer in 2022 and making a cameo in Welcome to Wrexham the same year. In February 2024, she competed on Wheel of Fortune, winning £4,100 for The Awen Project.

Her upcoming projects include appearances as a contestant on The Celebrity Traitors and as a celebrity guest on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, both scheduled for 2025.
