A singing waitress from Essex has become the subject of a bidding war after a performance at Cannes attracted record labels.

Victoria Hart was picked to sing at a charity bash hosted on an £80 million yacht by George Clooney.

Having impressed the A-list audience she is looking at quitting her day job at a restaurant in Richmond in favour of the big time.

"My life has been insane since I got back from Cannes," she gushed. "It's the most amazing thing that could ever happen to me.

"It's mad - we've got a bidding war on our hands and we get to decide which one to go with."

The singer has also been given a last-minute slot on the John Peel stage at this year's Glastonbury Festival. She commented: "Playing Glastonbury is just the most exciting thing ever.

"My room-mates have tried and failed to get tickets and now I can stroll along for free - they hate me."
