To mark her last day filling in for Lucy Kennedy as a presenter on TV3’s Six O’Clock Show, the team behind the show came up with a unique farewell for singer Samantha Mumba, writes Denise O’Donoghue.
On Wednesday, they shared a video to their Twitter account and promised that if it reached over 1,000 retweets, Samantha would sing her hit song ‘Gotta Tell You’ live on her final show.
