wear the ruby red Phoebe dress

In the meantime she is busy raising funds to pay for her school fees, including teaching dance in primary schools across Wigan, Warrington and her native St Helens. And she's been working with Manchester music impresario Keith Fane, who has previously worked with Russell Watson, Amy Nuttall and Debra Stephenson on their singing careers.Keith says: “Megan is fearless and has what it takes to reach the very top.”
But despite singing in front of theatre audiences before, her appearance on the rugby pitch was by far her biggest moment in the spotlight.It came about through her own rugby links – as her brother, Tom Armstrong, is a promising rugby league player himself. He left Super League side St Helens in the summer – to study petrochemical engineering at Manchester Metropolitan University. But while he completes his studies, he's signed to play as a part-time professional for Swinton Lions in the Rugby League Championship.
Tom was there to cheer his sister with the rest of the Armstrong family on Saturday.After trying out a host of the spectacular creations by Vicky and Nadine, Megan eventually decided on a spectacular black and silver sequin one-shoulder Merabi dress to sing the national anthems on Saturday afternoon.Then, in true showbiz style, Megan did a quick change in time for the interval to wear the ruby red Phoebe dress by Vicky during the interval to belt out her pitch-perfect rendition of Nessun Dorma.
Megan says: “It was really great feedback on the day, I wasn't really expecting it. I didn't have much time to think about how many people were watching, I just went out and sang.“I think everyone was surprised to see me so glammed up – it was a bit of a shock!“Everyone complimented me, my friends said it didn't even look like me!And as for brother Tom?Megan laughs: “He said 'you smashed it Meg', and from him that's quite a big compliment.”Lady Gaga looked comfy and casual at last night's MTV Europe Music Awards in Northern Ireland, where she showed up wearing sweatpants and sneakers. Kidding! Instead she rotated through a melange of shiny Paco Rabanne Spring 2012 dresses paired with Philip Treacy hats, some so architectural you could barely see Gaga behind them.The pop singer earned 4 awards: Biggest Fans, Best Female Act, and Best Song and Best Video for "Born This Way."
