A law graduate who only sings in the shower has said she is over the moon after becoming the voice of Christmas in a heartwarming Waitrose advert.

Beth Pernells angelic voice rings out as a young girl shyly hands over a gingerbread man at the end of the uplifting commercial.

The 23-year-olds voice was chosen from thousands donated to the charity advert which has been shown on TV nationwide and become an internet sensation since it was first aired on Sunday night during the X Factor.

But Beth, who recorded her entry at her home in Vicars Cross, almost didnt enter her version of the Dolly Parton hit Try for the sound track and even jokes that her shower singing annoys her neighbours.

It was completely last minute. I saw the advert on Spotify and I thought it was for a good cause so I may as well give it a go, said Beth who, until recently, worked at Helsby Golf Club.

It is a bit overwhelming. I havent done anything like this before. It is an amazing feeling hearing your voice on TV.

I used to sing in high school, but I havent done much since then. I am mainly a shower singer. It has been a massive confidence boost for me.

Beth, who spent hours learning the song before recording it and uploaded it to the Donate Your Voice just as it was closing, said she didnt think she had a chance of her entry making it onto the advert.

She was astonished when the supermarket giant wrote to her saying they were blown away by her voice and wanted to use it as a solo in the soundtrack, produced by David Kosten, who has worked with some of the worlds biggest stars including The Flaming Lips and Coldplays Chris Martin.
