London midwife delivers a chart hit

12 April 2012

A singer who is at the top of the singles charts is still carrying on with her day job as an NHS midwife.

Alana Watson is vocalist for dubstep duo Nero - Daniel Stephens and Joe Ray - who are number one with Promises. But while they perform at clubs by night, she has continued working full-time at a north London hospital.

Watson, who is the girlfriend of Stephens, said: "I'm currently working 40 hours a week as a midwife and the rest of my time is spent singing. I'm thoroughly enjoying both. Promises reaching number one has been a complete surprise. It all seems a bit surreal at the moment. I love being a midwife. It's a huge responsibility but such a worthwhile profession that can be very rewarding."

The band's debut album, Welcome Reality, was released two days ago.
