Sophie Ellis-Bextor commands attention in a pink sheer negligee and ruffled robe as she storms the stage at Camp Bestival – before breaking a Guinness World Record
Her Instagram Live Kitchen Discos during the Covid-19 lockdown were a means of virtual escapism for hundreds of thousands of fans.
And now Sophie Ellis-Bextor has proved she can put on a sensational live show as she returned to stage on Saturday to headline the Camp Bestival in Ludlow.
The singer, 42, performed from her back catalogue of hits before breaking a Guinness World Record by hosting the largest ever disco dance.
As many as 598 Camp Bestival attendees donned their finest sequins and headed to the festival’s dazzling giant disco ball for the special event, which raised much needed funds for official charity partner, the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust.

The songstress opted for a show-stopping make-up look with lashings of mascara and bright bring eye shadow which popped against her porcelain skin.

The Strictly Come Dancing star also recently launched her new podcast, Spinning Plates, with each one hour episode featuring an interview with another working mother about the difficulties and joys of a work/life balance.

Soon after its release, it appeared as Apple’s number one Parenting podcast everywhere from the UK to Greece to Ecuador.
Sophie’s success comes as she completed a 24 hour danceathon for Children In Need in November.
She raised an incredible £1million for charity with her efforts which saw her moving non-stop for an entire day and night, with just a five-minute break every hour to eat and drink.

‘I’m such a mess,’ she told viewers watching the end of the live-stream on BBC iPlayer. ‘I can’t stop weeping.’
During the challenge – which started at 9.30am in the morning – Sophie was joined by Tony Blackburn as they sang karaoke together as well as a host of other guests including Natalie Imbruglia, Tamsin Outhwaite and Michael Ball.
Gemma Collins, Rylan Clark, Bonnie Langford, Beverley Knight, JLS, Tony Blackburn, Gary Davies, Edith Bowman, Melvin Odoom, Sara Cox and Dawn O’Porter also joined her for stints on the dancefloor.
