The star shared a photograph on social media during a trip to XCon, which is taking place at Himley Hall, saying she was “so happy” to be there alongside fellow musician Jayne Harris for a “spooky day”.

XCon has transformed the grounds of Himley Hall into a hub for horror, sci-fi and fantasy fans, featuring celebrity guests, themed attractions, traders and entertainment throughout the event.
