Stockton Youngster Wins Nickelodeon UK's "Raise Your Voice" Competition

She's a Barbie girl - and now she's off to meet Little Mix, thanks to a competition by Barbie, Little Mix and Nickelodeon UK!

Stockton youngster Brooke Burke's singing talent caught the ears of the X Factor-winning girl band after she entered the "Raise Your Voice" campaign.


To promote the new "Barbie in Rock 'n Royals" DVD and toy range, fans aged five to 15 were asked to sing and record their own version of the Barbie song "Raise Our Voices" so Little Mix could choose their favourite.

And from hundreds of entries nationwide, it was Brooke who bagged the first prize of a "meet and greet" with the girls, four concert tickets and lots of Barbie goodies! The primary school pupil Brooke, six, will now meet her pop idols in Newcastle in March 2016.

But it meant a dilemma for Brooke's proud parents Tom, 29, training and development manager with the Daisy Chain autism charity, and Mum Stacey, 32, a primary school teacher in Eaglescliffe.

Tom explained: "We'd already bought her Little Mix tickets for her birthday, so we've given them away to family.

"She does like the Barbie movies but I think it was Little Mix who pulled her into entering the competition - she's a massive fan.

"I think we were more proud than she was - I'm not sure she understood what an achievement it is."

Brooke loves singing and dancing and has attended the Harlequin Stage School in Stockton since she was four. And little sister Layla, two, may even follow in her footsteps, having already taken up dancing herself.
