When we are first introduced to Rebecca Welton she is cold and scheming with little regard for those who will be affected by her destructive agenda. Whilst the reasoning behind her sabotage is completely plausible and somewhat justified, it is clear that the pain she is suffering has changed who she truly is.

It is in the season 1 episode, Make Rebecca Great Again, that we start to see a glimpse of the woman she once was. By the admittance of her childhood friend, Sassy, she was once silly and playful, not cold and sensible. It is the influence of Sassy in this episode that leads to the shocking moment that we discover just how well she can sing.

As the team celebrate their win in Liverpool, they find themselves in a karaoke bar where Rebecca belts out a remarkable rendition of Frozen’s Let It Go. This is the first time she really lets her hair down and bonds with her team, revealing a much more easy going and free spirited side to herself and beginning to take responsibility for the stranger she had become as a result of her marriage and divorce.

Of course, this karaoke segment was likely to have been added once Hannah Waddingham, a well-established musical theatre star and remarkable vocalist, was cast in the role. And boy are we grateful for it!
