Sinitta launches yodelling studio

Sinitta has launched a new yodelling studio in London, which will be open to the public.

The veteran popstar will coach visitors to the Yahoo Yodel Studio in Covent Garden alongside singer Pixie Lott.

"If you haven't yodelled before, it's just about being really loose, forgetting all your inhibitions and letting that yodel out. I think everybody's got a yodel in them - you just have to loosen it out and go for it," she told PA.

"I think I'm a great yodeller. I learnt how to yodel through The Sound Of Music - I know the melody, and my yodel gets better with time."

When asked which X Factor contestants may be good at yodelling, Simon Cowell's ex-girlfriend said: "Believe it or not, I think Stacey [Solomon] would have a good yodel - she's so goofy and funny anyway that I'd bet she'll give a good yodel. I reckon also Olly [Murs], I can see him having a yodel."
