Strictly’s Faye stepping in to host special awards night
Strictly star and honorary Mackem Faye Tozer will co-host a special awards evening in Sunderland next week.
The Steps singer will join Sky Sports presenter David Jones at Foundation of Light’s first-ever Gala Dinner showcasing the positive impact the charity has made to North East lives.
The 43-year-old, who is married to Sunderlandborn businessman Michael Smith, has been a passionate supporter of the Foundation for many years and was guest of honour at the charity’s Ladies Afternoon Tea at Ramside Hall.
After leaving Steps, Faye made her musical theatre debut in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Tell Me on a Sunday and has starred in several touring productions.
Recently, she earned her place as a finalist in BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing.
Faye, who lives in West Boldon with her husband and son Benjamin, said: “I am honoured to be co-hosting Foundation of Light’s Gala Dinner and really looking forward to a special evening. Through my support of the Foundation, I have seen firsthand the positive difference the Foundation has made to so many people’s lives and I’m excited be a part of an event that celebrates this.
limited number of tickets are available for the event starting from £150 per person. For more information, or to reserve your place, contact clare.wilson@foundationoflight.co.uk or call 0191 563 4733.
