Now they are using their amazing voice to raise money for the Tickled Pink Breast Cancer' charity. with by organising the 'Aisle of Pink Festival' which will take place on Saturday, 8 August.

"When we're working together on Fridays we'll often burst into song," said Abi. "We both love singing and thought it would be good to organise this event. Customers often video us."

Shoppers will be able to hear the professional singer belting out tunes with Abi from 3 pm until 5 pm and will be able to make a song request with a 50p donation.

The duo are hoping to raise as much money as possible for the charity which is the UK's longest-running corporate charity partnership, dedicated to raising funds and awareness for breast cancer.
