Singer and model Harriadnie Phipps, who is just 15, is hoping that her cover version of I Will Always Love You, a ballad written and first performed by American country singer Dolly Parton, will be her ticket to the big time.

Having just released the single, she already has plans to follow it up with a compilation album of ballads, as well as a song that is being written specifically for her.

Tall, blonde haired and blue-eyed, Harriadnie, from Whittlesey, admits she is hungry for the fame and trappings that success could bring.

Speaking to The Evening Telegraph from her family's Rush A Buy Baby clothes shop, in Market Street, Whittlesey, where she was on work experience, she said: "I want to be famous and known by a lot of people. I would like to live the high life."

No stranger to the limelight, the Sir Harry Smith Community College pupil has already modelled for Dolcis, Next and Tesco, featured in television adverts and has a clutch of talent competition prizes to her name.

Her early success, including a BT advert with Bob Hoskins, prompted her mother Alexandria, of Cemetery Road, Whittlesey, to sign Harriadnie up to the London-based Sylvia Young school in 1995.

Alexandria said: "Harriadnie started off modelling and acting, but she also has a fantastic voice.

"She may be 15, but she has the voice of a woman.

"She has a tremendous drive to reach the top and whatever she tries – modelling, acting or music – she wants to do the best she can."

Naming Heidi Klum, Jessica Simpson and Kate Moss as her idols, Harriadnie said: "I like everything about them, the talents that they have and the lives they lead."

With plans to do her GCSEs next year, before moving up to the sixth form at Sir Harry Smith Community College, Harriadnie's bid for fame is set to go hand in hand with her education.
