Singing star Brooke Fraser — described as New Zealand’s answer to Adele — reveals to News of the World’s Dan Wootton how she’s lent some of the songs from her impressive new album Flags to Australian soap Home And Away. “I live in Australia and my music gets out there into the TV world,” Fraser said. “I respect the soaps as a great breeding ground for new Australian talent.” Fraser, who grew up in Lower Hutt, now lives in Sydney. New Zealand-born interviewer Dan Wootton is showbiz editor for News of the World. He has worked for the Dominion Post, where he wrote a daily entertainment column and was a reporter for TV show Good Morning before joining the News of the World in 27.
