Hitmaker Sophie Ellis-Bextor is set to light up the dancefloor on BBC's New Year's Eve Disco tonight. Premiering at 11.30pm, the popstar will perform her biggest hits ahead of the big countdown, then she will return after the fireworks show for more dancefloor classics.

Younger generations will know the artist for her famous Instagram kitchen discos, which took the internet by storm during lockdown, however Sophie has led a stunning music career for over 20 years.

Now 45 years old, she was born in West London to mum Janet, a former BBC TV presenter, and filmmaker dad Robin Bextor.The singer's major breakthrough came when she was just 16 years old, as the lead of rock band Theaudience.

Although Sophie had always loved music, she did not know she wanted to in the field until she joined the guitar-pop band."Until then, I’d been unsure what I wanted to do… but then I started singing and it just felt like it joined the dots for me in terms of all the things I loved," she told Thought Economics in 2023.
