The 'Britain's Got Talent' judge has praised the nation on their incredible contribution to charitable schemes, simply by purchasing a ticket every week, after a staggering £179 million was raised for arts and community projects last month.

She said: "People do the lottery every month because they want to change their lives, even if you don't win, you are still changing someone's life and I think that's a brilliant way to do the lottery. Knowing how much money is going to good causes makes me want to do it every week because there's a bigger picture going on, which is incredible"

The 37-year-old brunette beauty celebrated the record-breaking news by attending the Jimi Hendrix Museum in London dressed as the late music legend after the museum was restored recently and reopened to the public thanks to £1.2 million raised from the National Lottery.

Speaking of the event, she explained: "I don't even know how much the British public are aware of how much money every month goes to good causes from the National Lottery. It was even a pleasant surprise to me. It's great to let the public know that they have single-handedly had an involvement in all these wonderful projects and every time you do the lottery you are helping someone which is great."
