'Kiss The Stars' songstress Pixie Lott has opened up about the experiences she had while in Africa as part of the Sport Relief organisation and admitted that it was amazing to see the impact the fundraising really has.

She recently visited Zambia in southern Africa to see how the money raised by Sport Relief, which topped $108.6 million (£67.9 million) in 2012, has helped women and their families in the area and in a video of her trip she explained that it makes such a significant difference:

"Thanks to the support of the U.K. government and the money you gave to Sport Relief, so many women have had the opportunity to change their lives. By giving these women a chance to earn an income they can make sure their children are fed, clothed and go to school and can build a brighter future for their families."

Lott spent time with young women who had been given grants to build small businesses and improve their lives and added:

"So now I've seen it first hand for myself how much your money has helped changed people's lives, and without you it wouldn't be possible, so thank you."
