Katherine Jenkins wears polka dot dress to entertain care home residents with special live streamed singalong
Katherine Jenkins did her bit for the community on Wednesday when she sang outside for a set which was live-streamed to 100 care homes.
The 40-year-old looked pretty in a burgundy coloured polka-dot midi dress which had a frill going down the front as she sang outside.
And it was lucky she brought an umbrella with her, in fact one which matched her outfit, as she heavens opened during her set, which was powered by Vodafone.
Using her talents: Katherine Jenkins wore a polka dot dress to entertain care home residents with a special live streamed singalong in London on Wednesday
She teamed her dress with cream wedges and wore her blonde locks in loose curls.
Her 45-minute show covered songs such as We’ll Meet Again and You Are My Sunshine.
Katherine remained socially distanced as she stood outside, with the camera crew placed a fair distanced from her.
The mezzo soprano singer took to Instagram ahead of the gig and shared a picture of herself warming up, while wearing comfortable trainers.

She wrote: ‘Not long before I’m LIVE on Facebook with @vodafoneuk performing to over 100 care homes across the UK and you can watch too!
‘Click the link in my bio to watch and I’ll see you there at 2.30pm BST today #KeepConnecting ❤️.’
It was important that the event was live-streamed rather than in-person as the elderly continue to be among the most vulnerable amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Safe: Katherine showed how she was socially distancing from the crew with this social media snap – she could not perform inside care homes as it is not safe to do so amid the pandemic
Last month, Health Secretary Matt Hancock insisted the virus, which has cut a swathe through care homes is ‘coming under control’ as he announced an extension of the testing regime.
He said: ‘We’ve now sent over a million test kits to almost 9,000 elderly care homes and the care homes themselves asked that they have the flexibility to do the test when it works for them.
‘The good news is that the test results so far do not show a significant rise in the number of positive cases despite going through and testing all of the residents and staff.
‘We will now make sure that we do all of this in working age care homes as well.
‘I can announce that from today all remaining adult care homes in England will be able to order the whole care home testing service for residents and staff.
‘This service will benefit residents and staff in over 6,000 more care homes.’
