Sinitta said: “I’m looking forward to performing at Pride in London because it’s like going back to my roots! I am not gay, but the British gay community have pretty much shaped a lot of my early days out on the club and party scene with my closest friends and my many gay husbands and wives who mean so much to me. London is the best city in the world and it’s great to be recording, dancing, singing and having fun as an artist again. There have been huge land marks this year in the gay community that we should celebrate!

Dorian Reland, winner of Pride’s Got Talent, added: “I’m so grateful for the Pride’s Got Talent win! Pride’s a great opportunity to let your colours shine. It’s a chance to celebrate freedom, diversity and to stand against discrimination. I’m looking forward to performing and spicing things up by summoning up everyone’s wildest instincts!”

Pride in London is the city’s annual celebration of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people and culture and consists of a week-long festival celebrating all aspects of the LGBT community which runs from June 22-29.
