SAM SERVES UP A TREAT FOR DINERS

- SUZANNE SIMONOT suzanne.simonot@news.com.au

POP starlette Samantha Jade will sing while holiday crowds supper at Robina Town Centre today before she heads overseas on a songwritin­g sojourn.

Since winning The X Factor

in 2012, Jade has clocked up a collective 81 million streams, released a single with Pitbull, starred as Kylie Minogue in The INXS Story and released her debut album, NINE.

While many artists turn their noses up at free performanc­es in shopping centres, ARIA winner Jade is more than happy to give back to the people who helped catapult her to the top of the pops.

“That’s where you meet the people who buy your records, who keep you in the job,” she said yesterday.

“You have to draw in the crowd. We always have a great time. It’s fun performing up there for them.”

Jade, in town to promote her new single, Circles on the Water, will play The Kitchens at Robina from 1pm.

Jade relocated to the UK earlier this year but plans to return home. “I just miss home. It’s too far. It’s so hard to talk to anyone,” she said.
