The youth organisation shared a snap of the area they had prepared for Becky’s performance, with the caption: “The stage is all set, and the BBC team are getting ready for our surprise mystery Pop Star guest at INFINITY Junior Club tonight! 🎤🤩 #BBC #excited”

She gushed about Bolton Lads and Girls Club being an “incredible place”, after performing three songs including charity single Only You.

Fans have called the cover which features in McDonald’sChristmas advert “beautiful” and it has received thousands of views since it was shared on Becky’s YouTube channel.

Pop duo Yazoo debuted Only You in 1982. Beck initially released her cover of the song three years ago, following the death of her grandfather.

The award-winning singer, who found fame after appearing on The Voice UK, was given an opportunity to pose for selfies and witness some of the children at Bolton Lads and Girls Club’s talent in action during her surprise gig.

The singer admitted to wishing that she had had access to the music facilities that those who attend the youth organisation have, as she reflected on her own childhood while exploring the recording studio in the centre.

“There is nothing more pure than kids just going for it for a song.
