Watford singer to appear on Channel 4's The Piano on Sunday

Alexander Williams - who performs under the stage name Tiger Jazz - will be featured on Sunday's episode of the Claudia Winkleman-fronted Channel 4 programme.

Each episode's best act receives the opportunity to perform at a special concert at the Royal Albert Hall.

"The experience was incredible, I had a lovely day from start to finish and gave it my all. Fundamentally I'm a singer and picked up the piano during lockdown as a skill to accompany that."

The 41-year-old is hoping the national television spotlight will allow him to put his talents "in the shop window" ahead of a busy summer.
