She explained: “Well, I can’t believe it really. Because we’ve got the new album, we decided to tour the album and the last tour did so well and we’d start to sort of dip into arenas then. So now there’s only about two or three theatres in the whole tour now.
“Leeds Arena is like my own turf in it. I get to sleep in my own bed. It’s just little things like that that cheer you up isn’t it?
“So, I just can’t believe it and it’s August and September that we’re out on tour. We’re going to Sheffield Arena and Manchester Arena too.”
