Pixie Lott has triumphantly nabbed the Number One spot several times, with songs including debut single 'Mama Do', 'Boys And Girls' and the lead single from her second album 'All About Tonight', but will she be able to conquer the ballroom?
That's the question on everyone's lips as the 'Nasty' songstress limbers up to compete for the glitterball trophy in the new series of Strictly Come Dancing.
To celebrate, we've pulled together ten lesser known factoids about the soulful star.
1. Victoria Louise Lott was born in Bromley, and was soon nicknamed 'Pixie' for being such a tiny baby.

Starvation diets, liposuction, armpit Botox and anti-anxiety medication are all part of awards-ceremony preparation for many stars, whose beauty routines now go far beyond spray tans and manicures
The Oscars red carpet is often referred to by the celebrity press as the most powerful catwalk in the world. It is the gilded stage for which haute couture dresses are made; bright lights fall on film stars dressed by the world's most accomplished designers in some of the most expensive items of clothing ever made.
But for many of the nominees, what goes on in the run-up to Oscar Sunday involves weeks of hunger, sacrifice and last-minute liposuction. "It is brutal," British facialist Nichola Joss told the New York Times this week, of the pressure of the high-definition closeup on Hollywood actors. "You can see a hair follicle. You can see a pimple before it is a pimple."

The Spice Girls have yet to officially confirm that they will be performing at the closing ceremonies of the Summer Olympics in London, though the fact that they are allegedly set to perform two songs is just about the worst kept secret in music.
There have been sly hints and insider chit-chat, but none of the gals has stepped up to say it is 100 percent happening. So far the closest thing we've gotten to a confirmation has come from Victoria Beckham, who was asked about a possible reunion with her old bandmates by a British radio station in mid-July and said, "I don't know about a comeback tour, but I loved being back with the girls...we are very excited about the Olympics."
Today (August 2), the most coy of the Spice Girls tweeted yet another tease to stoke anticipation.
It comes in the form of a picture of a microphone encrusted with rhinestones and glitter.
