IRELAND AM star Brooke Scullion has revealed her major career move and admitted she was nervous to share the news with fans.
The Derry native, 26, first rose to fame on The Voice UK before going on to represent Ireland at Eurovision in 2022.
Brooke has now been announced as a support act for Ella Henderson at her upcoming gig in Derry this August.
The Eurovision star told how she’s “so proud” to be joining the Ghost hitmaker on stage in her hometown and can’t wait to showcase some of her new music.
She took to Instagram to share the incredible news and admitted it’s “genuinely a dream come true”.
In a heartfelt post, she wrote: “Hey everyone, it’s been a minute…
“First of all, Ella Henderson has been a massive inspiration and idol to me from the beginning of my career so it’s an absolute honour to be able to support her in my home city.”
The Derry singer also admitted that the announcement felt like a huge step for her.
She confessed: “Now, real talk. Had so much fear before releasing this post because it’s the first gig that I’ll have done in a while.”
Brooke also revealed that she’s been working hard behind the scenes, writing and recording new music.
She said: “I’ve been writing new music for the last three years and I finally have an album that I’m so proud of.”
Although she said the release journey “won’t be immediate”, Brooke explained that this gig “will be the first time anyone gets to hear this new music and new direction”.
Brooke then thanked her supporters, saying: “Thanks for all your love and support always it means the world. Brooke x.”
Fans and friends flocked to the comment section to congratulate her and share their excitement.
Maia Dunphy said: “This is AMAZING news! And so well deserved.”
Kerry Anne wrote: “OMG wow huge congratulations Brooke.”
Amy gushed: “Yesss Brooke! This is amazing.”
‘AMAZING’
Siobhan added: “Yes girl! You are amazing.”
Brooke was recently left cringing after she made a major blunder on live TV.
The Eurovision star was on air with Elaine Crowley and Martin King for some hilarious TV laughs.
And Brooke ended up making a grave error while presenting on the show.
The Derry native was told to “stand by for rehearsals” but then was quickly told there was “no time”.
However, she didn’t hear that they were actually live on TV and still thought she practicing her lines off air.
The 25-year-old made some mistakes while reading out the auto cue.
