And Carina is hoping to prove she's just the tonic to win our Excite and Entertain Leeds 2017 talent competition.
Grosvenor Casino Leeds Westgate, to promote it's new £3m revamp, has teamed up with the Yorkshire Evening Post to discover and reward creative talent, with big cash prizes to be won.

Philippines born Carina, aged 50, of Ossett, Wakefield, was a singer before she moved to England 14-years ago.
She said:" I am working at NHS Leeds Teaching Hospital as theatre staff. But that didn't stop me from singing. I do private parties, charity events and entertain patients. I can't stop singing and it makes me happy to see people happy.
"Kim-tastic Funtastic is how my friends describe me because of my funny moves and good sense of humour."
