Maisie goes back to her roots

The Steyning council website received a record number of streams on the evening of the Christmas lights switch on.

Not because a global audience had an interest in the small English town, but because Maisie Peters had been announced as the local celebrity to press the button. Her music fans who couldn't attend in person were hoping to see a performance, while her newer "fans" were hoping to see the young Brit without her clothes on again...

"Please welcome to the stage, Maisie Peters!"

The crowd whooped and applauded as the young singer skipped onto the stage, waving and blowing kisses to her fans. She was wearing a tiny red dress, which terminated at mid-thigh. Her feet were encased in a pair of sandals, and her short, blonde hair brushed her bare shoulders.

The backing track started up, and Maisie started her set. While she was her usual enthusiastic self on stage, she did stumble over the occasional word as her teeth started to chatter, and the more beady eyed members of the crowd saw her nipples poking through her dress; confirmation that the young artist wasn't wearing a bra.

By the time she had finished her set, Maisie was shivering, violently. She furiously rubbed her bare arms as the host returned to interview her.

She tried to laugh and joke her way through the conversation, giving all the hints she could that she wanted to get off stage.

The host, under instruction from her sister to keep Maisie there for as long as possible, ignored her silent pleas.

Snow melted into Maisie's locks as she laughed and joked with the host, and tried her hardest not to shiver.

"Before you all go, Maisie's got a very special announcement for us! Maise, if you'd like to do the honours?"

"T-thank you for all of y-your support, I-I w-wouldn't b-be here without y-you! I could never have imagined I'd be here when I started busking all those years ago, so I'm really excited to announce that I will be headlining the Times Square New Year's Eve show in a few weeks!"

"That's not all though, is it, Maisie?" the host prompted her over the cheers of the crowd.

"Err...n-no. B-because the s-show will be broadcast by ENF TV, I...I...I'll be performing completely n-naked! In my birthday suit on live TV..."

Her words drifted away as she was overcome with emotion, doing her best not to cry.

"It's OK, Maisie, we can't wait either!" the host called out over the cheers from the crowd, deliberately misinterpreting her reaction. "Who wants to see Maisie welcome in the nude year...sorry, New Year!"

The crowd cheered and laughed at his comment, and Maisie's face burnt as hundreds of people joked at her expense. It was all too much for her; she buried her face in her hands, and burst into tears. Rather than feeling bad, the audience only found her reaction more amusing.

"I'm sure she'd love to stay, but Maisie is freezing to ****!" the host declared, bringing the night to a close. "I'll let her go and defrost, but remember to mark your diaries. 31st December, 5am UK time. Make sure you find a stream, any stream, because Maisie's boobs will be everywhere, and you won't want to miss them!"
