Superstar singer Becky Hill will be sending the Lionesses off to battle with a giant roar from the crowd.

The chart topper is headlining a huge pre-match show at today’s Uefa Women’s Euros Final - and is hoping it will leave England and the home crowd fired up enough to finally bring football home.

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mirror’s Jess Saying Live, Becky vows: “It’s a big show. It’s a five-minute performance. There’s three costume changes and lots of pyrotechnics. “We’ve been rehearsing all week for it. So, so yeah, it’s super exciting.

“I can’t wait to get on the pitch!”

Becky - who won a BRIT and a Silver Clef award earlier this year - has to keep many details of the show, presented by Pepsi Max, under wraps.

But the production is set to be on par with the level seen at the famous Superbowl half-time shows in the States - showing just how much excitement has been building up for this possibly historic England v Germany clash.

Asked if she thinks the womens’ team could bring football home for the first time since 1966, she laughs: “Well, somebody has to, Yeah!”

She adds: “I’m so excited for them, and I can’t wait to be a part of history in the making.”

The tournament has already led to a huge surge of interest in the women’s game at grassroots level and it’s a proud moment to be asked to be such a big part of this big day.

The Pepsi Max Show sees her headlining with Stefflan Don and Ultra Nate in the centre of the pitch to the capacity crowd.

It’s been quite an astounding few years for Becky.

She first emerged as a contestant on The Voice in 2012, but was eliminated in the semi-final. She went on to have a number one with Gecko in 2014, but after being dropped from her label, risked all her savings to self-release a second album, before being snapped up by industry giant Polydor.

Now a decade later, she’s the biggest name to have come out of the Saturday Night talent show, has had a slew of platinum-selling singles including last year’s huge anthems

Remember with David Guetta and My Heart Goes (La Di Da), has an Ibiza Rocks residency, and and starts her almost sold out US tour in September. She was nominated for Song of the Year for Remember at this year's BRITs and took home public-voted BRIT for Best Dance act.

Yet despite her success, Becky, 28, from Bewdley, Worcs, is still humble - almost to a fault.

“It’s been 10 years of hard work, and I think there’s still people sat there going, ‘Who is this person?’!,” she laughs.

“So it’s nice to actually finally feel like people are kind of recognising me a bit more now. My songs are getting into the top 10.

“And, you know, it’s, it’s definitely very satisfying to now see 10 years of hard work starting to pay off. So yeah, let’s hope it continues.”

On the Daily Mirror Live hosted by Daily Mirror Columnist Jessica Boulton, Becky adds: “I definitely think winning the BRIT Award was a big moment for me. And that it was fan voted for as well. It meant the world to me. It was like my true recognition. I’ve always dreamed of winning a BRIT Award.

“It’s now in my lounge on top of the speaker next to the Silver Clef. Hopefully I’ll start having to make more space for other awards!”

As for what’s next?

“Definitely world domination. I think that’s my next step!”

Hopefully she’ll be following the Lionesses on that score.....
