Katy B: 'I want to be like Jools Holland and have my own music show'

'Broken Record' songstress Katy B has revealed that her ultimate goal is to launch her own music show and be revered in the same way that Jools Holland is. 

Speaking to Kiss FM at the Isle of Wight Festival over the weekend, the beauty admitted that she hopes to create a programme that exposes talent and supports musicians: "I want to have my own music show and be like Jools Holland. I'd love to have loads of legends on it. It's a real ambition of mine."

The hitmaker went onto add that she is passionate about LGBTQ rights and her first experiences of the club scene were all at gay clubs: "My first clubbing experiences were at gay clubs because a lot of my friends are gay and I'm really passionate about gay rights. I saw a lot of my friends struggle with coming out and their experiences. That makes me very proud and I'm well up for playing Liverpool and Brighton Pride. It's very special for me."

Katy B will tour the UK later this year and her first show is due to take place in Birmingham on October 18 and the jaunt will end with a show at Newcastle's O2 Academy on October 29.
