Atomic Kitten star Natasha Hamilton returned to her Merseyside roots to switch on Liscard’s Christmas lights, opening up about her Hashimoto’s disease diagnosis, new music plans and life as a mum-of-five\"NatashaNatasha says three words in response to reuniting with Atomic Kitten<\/p>\n

Natasha Hamilton<\/a> has shared a huge insight into the future of Atomic Kitten. At 42, Natasha, mother-of-five and singer, is embracing a full-circle moment as she returns to her roots to help lift her hometown\u2019s spirits during what locals have called their \u201cworst Christmas<\/a> ever.\u201d Once the teenage girl belting out songs in Liscard pubs at just 13, Natasha is now the woman lighting up the district \u2014 quite literally \u2014 by climbing to the top of a 30ft Norwegian Pine to switch on the lights for a community so close to where she grew up. “Liscard has such a special place in my heart,” she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t just about turning on a tree,\u201d she tells us with that familiar mix of Northern warmth and honesty. \u201cIt was about giving the community their Christmas back.\u201d And it\u2019s a community that needs the boost. With Asda<\/a> research showing 73% of Brits feeling the \u201cGrinch Pinch\u201d, Liscard\u2019s festive celebrations have been scaled back in recent years – even becoming known online for having \u201cthe worst Christmas tree in Britain.\u201d<\/p>\n

But this year, after the community reached out asking for help, Asda stepped in. What followed was a joyful transformation, with Natasha leading the comeback in true headline-making fashion.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t lie, being lifted up 30ft in the air on a cherry picker while the wind was blowing was terrifying!\u201d she laughs. \u201cMy daughter was shouting, \u2018Mummy, come down!\u2019 But the moment the lights went on, and I saw everyone cheering\u2026 it was incredible. It felt like hope.\u201d<\/p>\n

The night was more than a festive switch-on; <\/a>it was a reunion between Natasha and the town that shaped her. Born and raised in Liverpool, she spent her early teens performing across the Wirral before shooting to international fame as part of Atomic Kitten. The trio, known for smash hits like Whole Again and The Tide Is High, sold millions, toured the world<\/a> and became a defining girl band of the 2000s.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were just kids,\u201d she reflects. \u201cBut Liverpool and the Wirral championed us from day one. I still feel that love \u2014 I can\u2019t go into Liverpool without someone shouting my name!\u201d and whether the Atomic Kitten clan will be reuniting, Natasha says: \u201cNever say never, at this moment there are no plans, but I am still very close to Jenny, and Liz and you never know what could happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"NATASHANatasha helped bring festive cheer to the town of Liscard<\/p>\n

It\u2019s that nostalgia and sisterhood that Natasha dives into in her latest project, Girlbands Forever, the tell-all TV documentary revisiting the highs and lows of girl group life<\/a>. \u201cIt was a 44-hour interview condensed into a few minutes,\u201d she says. \u201cIt was exhausting but really cathartic. I remembered things I hadn\u2019t thought about in years. And what struck me most was how many of us, in different bands, were going through the same pressures \u2014 but we were always being pitted against each other. It made me really appreciative of what we actually achieved, and very proud to have represented the North West in such a pivotal way in pop music.\u201d<\/p>\n

She lights up when she talks about the friendships that came later. \u201cDoing The Big Reunion in 2013 was like therapy for all of us. We finally got to know each other as real people, not just band members. It felt like family.\u201d But after topping the charts for three decades, what is Natasha most proud of? While there are too many achievements, she explained: “My career highlight would be playing the lead role of Mrs Johnstone at the West End, and at the time I was the youngest female actress to play the role. The feeling of sheer relief at the end of the show is unlike anything I\u2019ve ever experienced.”<\/p>\n

Family is central to everything Natasha does \u2014 and with children aged 2, 11, 13, 19 and 21, her household is a bustling whirlwind of routines, school plays, teenage milestones and toddler magic. This Christmas is the first her youngest daughter will truly understand, and Natasha beams with pride as she talks about taking her to see Santa. \u201cShe absolutely loved it. It was magical.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her other children are just as busy. \u201cAlfie performed in Grease last week, and Ella had a solo in her Christmas show\u2026 they love it! And my eldest son, Josh, came home from Australia<\/a> last Christmas \u2014 that was the best gift ever.\u201d But how does Natasha get herself ready for Christmas? She explained: “We do the reindeer food leaving carrots and sprinkle rainbow glitter on the doorstep to show he\u2019s been, leave milk and cookies for Santa every year. Christmas Day is always about having festive family fun, it gets quite competitive at times with the games, and then karaoke comes out at the end of the day.”<\/p>\n

Motherhood, however, has taught Natasha the importance of balance. Diagnosed last year with Hashimoto\u2019s disease<\/a>, she\u2019s learned to slow down. \u201cIt makes you realise you\u2019re not invincible. Some days need to be soft days. I\u2019ve not had a drink for eight weeks \u2014 I\u2019m just filling my own cup.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"NatashaNatasha is ready to bring new music out in 2026\"Natasha\"Natasha is ready for a big family Christmas<\/p>\n

Despite her full home life, Natasha\u2019s creative drive shows no sign of slowing. After decades in the industry, she\u2019s now building something of her own: an independent record label, Morpho Records. \u201cI want to support the next wave of UK pop artists,\u201d she tells us proudly. Her first signing, Kai Bosh, is already gearing up for a huge 2026. And Natasha isn\u2019t stopping there \u2014 she\u2019s releasing brand-new music herself, with an EP and lead single arriving in January.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really ready for next year,\u201d she says with a bright smile. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be incredible.\u201d But before another whirlwind of releases, filming and school runs kicks in, the Hamilton household will be doing Christmas in the way they know best \u2014 loud, joyful and full of love.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s karaoke, dancing around the kitchen table, silly games, disco lights\u2026 and wrapping the living room door so the kids have to burst through it in the morning,\u201d she laughs. \u201cComplete chaos \u2014 but the best chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n

For a woman who\u2019s spent more than 25 years in the public eye, Natasha still feels misunderstood at times. \u201cPeople think I\u2019m tough. I\u2019ve had to be. But underneath I\u2019m so soft \u2014 I cry at everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
