Knight helps Five celebrate with soul

Singer Beverley Knight helped terrestrial channel Five celebrate its tenth birthday last night, at a party held at London's Cirque club in Leicester Square.

The Just the Two of Us star belted out hits like Keep This Fire Burning, Shoulda Woulda Coulda, Come As You Are and Made It Back, as well as classic covers Take Another Little Piece of My Heart and Aretha Franklin's Rock Steady.

Celebrated DJ Norman Jay, who DJ-ed at Five's fifth birthday party, also entertained the crowd, which included managing director Lisa Opie, Five staff, suppliers and invited journalists.

Other entertainment included skimpily-dressed dancing girls, a casino with Five-branded 'chips', a photographer's booth, a saxophonist in the ladies toilet and make-up girls on hand to give makeovers.

At midnight, the party counted down to the anniversary of Five's launch on March 30, 1997.
