SHE'S raised hundreds of pounds for charity with her brilliant young voice - but the ambition does not stop there.

Talented Charlie Allen, 12, from Gosport, raised more than £600 for Childline after recording and selling her CD, Little Angel.

The Bay House School pupil began writing songs when she was ten years old and since then a whole new world of opportunity has opened up for her.

Just last year, Charlie entered one of her own songs, One, in the Junior Eurovision song contest and made it to the final eight.

She also took part in the Ministry of Mayhem's X-Factor competition on TV.

Now Charlie, who lives in Jessie Road, wants to sing at an anti-bullying concert in London this summer.

She said: "I love singing and dancing and writing my own songs and I like doing things to help people. It was hard work but fun recording the CD."

She added: "Noone thought it would happen but it did and now I'm hoping to do more. I'd love to be a pop star."

Her CD has been selling well from Reflex Records in Gosport high street.

Dad Kevin, 38, said his daughter simply told him one day that she was going to write a CD and a year later she did it.

"When your ten-year-old says that you don't think they are actually going to do it but Charlie is very confident and set out to do it. I am really proud of her," he said.
