"I put a post up to see if anyone would be willing to sing to my Nana in her garden as a surprise", Lauren told the YEP.
To her astonishment, Lauren was inundated with offers.
She was contacted by the mum of 16-year-old Jessica Frost from Farsley - an extremely talented young singer.
"I instantly knew she was the perfect fit", Lauren said.
Jessica put together a 1940s inspired set list and headed to Gladys' home in Morley.
