A teen waitress landed the gig of her life when she was asked to perform for celebs at a star-studded bash in Cannes.

Victoria Hart, 18, was invited to sing at a charity do hosted by George Clooney, to coincide with the world premiere of his latest film Ocean's 13 on Thursday.

Victoria, who has studied music for the past two years and has recorded her debut album, was asked to perform after being recommended to organisers of the event.

The event was a far cry from her job waiting tables at the Naked Turtle restaurant and cocktail bar in Richmond, which employs "singing waitresses".

Victoria spent two months' wages on an £800 Moschino dress for the party, which was held to raise cash for humanitarian aid in the Darfur region of Sudan.

Guests were rumoured to have paid up to £100,000 for a single ticket.
