OUR very own Junior J-Lo, Vicki Gater, is one step closer to fame and fortune after reaching the second round of the Jammie Dodgers’ Jam on the Mic competition.

The biscuit brand launched the search for a pint-size pop star in association with Fox Kids TV back in July. So far Vicki, 11, from Kendal, has beaten off competition from hundreds of budding young singers nationwide to reach the October half term regional heat in Manchester.

And if she is chosen as one of the top ten finalists, Vicki will get to perform her song at the world famous Abbey Road Studios in London. The winner will get to record their single on to CD as well as receiving advice from a vocal coach, choreographer, stylist and make-up artist.
