In the first part of our latest Q&A, Sophie tells us about the "dance-y" new songs she's working on and how Groovejet was written. Look out for the next two parts of the chat soon!
Hello Sophie, how are you? I’m good thank you.
What are you up to? I’m actually looking through a load of backing tracks. I’ve been sent some dance-y stuff over the last few weeks. So I’m going through them and seeing if there’s anything I want to work on... read more.
"Hello, I'm Sophie Ellis-Bextor and I want to share with you some of the amazing work Tommy's does.
This is Freddie, born 11 and a half weeks prematurely.
In the UK, one in four women will lose a baby as a result of miscarriage, stillbirth or premature birth. Tommy's wants to change this and give every baby born in the UK the chance of being born healthy, helping baby just like Freddie.
Tommy's funds vital research into complications during pregnancy as well as providing support and information to families across the UK, giving other babies just like Freddie the help that they need.
Freddie has already been through a lot in his young life, but he's now doing well and thriving and living at home.
The work Tommy's does saves tiny lives every day and together we can help the vital work they do carry on.

You can read below the two latest Q&A with Sophie in which she talked about her pregnancy, the new album and the collaboration with Bob Sinclar.
Part 1:
Hi Sophie, how are you? I’m not too bad, thanks.
What have you been up to? Well, I’ve had some nice trips. Richard and I have done a couple of DJ gigs abroad, which has been quite fun. We went to Kiev and Moscow, which was a giggle. And we went to Abu Dhabi for the Formula 1, because I did a couple of shows around that.
How was that? It was cool, actually. I think if Richard hadn’t come with me it would’ve all been a bit lost on me. Not that he’s particularly into Formula 1, but because we were there together and being shown around garages and stuff it made it more fun. And seeing everything up close does make it more exciting... read more.
Part 2:
So your unborn child is certainly a very well travelled baby. It certainly is! And I’m travelling right up to New Year’s Eve, which is my last booked gig. I’m going to Thailand, which is amazing. I’m so excited about that.
You’ve had such a year of travelling to amazing places. I know. I’ve been really lucky. Every year you start off the year wondering what it will bring, but it’s been as good now as ever.
What are you doing in Thailand? A fully live show with my band in Phuket. I’ve got three nights there, which should be quite cool. I’ve only been to Bangkok, but I’ve looked online and Phuket looks incredibly beautiful... read more.
