night before, Sara hopes to break the record and release a charity single that goes to No1.

She said: “When the NHS was first formed it was to look after people from cradle to grave and for me, it was literally from being born because I was a breach birth so a consultant turned up to help my mum give birth to me.

UNA HEALY

EVERY mum’s nightmare is their child being rushed to hospital.

It happened to Saturdays singer Una when her youngest, Tadhg, two, had chickenpox.

She said: “I personally owe the NHS so much. They’ve looked after my children so greatly. My little boy had chickenpox and almost developed sepsis when he was eight months old.

“He went into Northampton General A&E and was put on an IV antibiotic and kept in overnight and made a full recovery.” straight away my mum warned my four siblings that I was a special baby, because I came home all strapped up with bandages to correct my legs.

“Through the years I’ve had childhood scrapes, usually involving horses. More tetanuses than I care to remember from growing up on a farm, I was forever falling on rusty nails.

“More recently I broke my collarbone coming off a racehorse so I was in an ambulance to Watford A&E. I was training for a charity race at Goodwood. I dented my kneecap with my own femur and hurt my neck too. I was very lucky.” T’S not just been Sara who has benefited from the universally envied British resource. She said: “My grandad had a big heart operation and it gave him another 12 years of life. My nana had cancer and was at the Christie hospital in Manchester and they were amazing.

“So it’s such an honour to be part of this and to say thank you.”

The NHS Choir and singers who owe a debt to the NHS such as Spandau Ballet’s Tony Hadley, UB40’s Ali Campbell, Rick Astley and JLS’s Aston Merrygold, joined Chic’s Nile Rodgers on guitar and Myleene Klass on piano to record With A Little Help at Abbey Road Studios.

Other NHS Choirs and staff will join the broadcast from across the country.

The record is held by Barclaycard presents British Summertime (UK), which saw 6904 people singing Let It Go in Hyde Park, London, in 2015.

Sara said: “We want to celebrate this fabulous institution that we’re so lucky to have. We’re going to get the whole nation singing.”

The Big NHS Singalong Live is on STV on July 4 at 8.30pm.

ASTON MERRYGOLD

THE former JLS singer visited the Golden Jubilee National Hospital in Clydebank and met 79-year-old theatre nurse Lily, who has been working for the NHS since 1968.

He said: “She’s such a character and such a lovely person to be around, they’re very lucky to have her in this part of the world.

“Meeting people like Lily is exactly why I wanted to get involved in this project. It’s these people who go out of their way and go the extra mile.”
