When singer Pat Sleigh, pictured, was cast as a nun in a local operatic society's musical she didn't exactly throw herself into the role.

For the 36-year-old from Brighouse, who is in the chorus line of Brighouse Amateur Operatic Society's version of the hit family favourite "The Sound of Music," discovered soon after that she was expecting her first child! "These habits are so big you wouldn't know who was pregnant!" said four-months-pregnant Pat.

The show runs until tomorrow at Brighouse Civic Hall. For details, call (01422) 201612 or (01484) 715425.
