Rebecca Ferguson has hailed her Liverpudlian roots as she prepares to bow out on a high.
The talented singer from Anfield has been in the limelight for 13 years since she shot to stardom with a second place finish on season seven of the X Factor. Rebecca's journey is set to come full circle this year as she will release her fifth and final album, Heaven Part 2, in December.
The 36-year-old is stepping away from recording new music to focus on her fight for better regulation in the industry and she told the ECHO that she credits her Merseyside roots for instilling in her this defiant spirit. She said: "A lot of other people who weren't from Liverpool maybe would have played the game a little bit more, kept your mouth shut and got paid.
