Given the recent publicity in The Sun newspaper, The British Forces Foundation Chief Executive, Mark Cann has issued this statement. "Katherine Jenkins thoroughly deserves her OBE and recognition for her long standing commitment to the Armed Forces.

"It’s important to make the distinction, so the public understands, that there’s a huge difference between the visits and shows The British Forces Foundation do in places like Lashkar Gah (Afghanistan) and Basra (Iraq) and the publicity driven PR trips that are little more than a photo op and cease happening the moment the conflict is off the front pages.

"Katherine’s visits are always done for the right reasons, at no cost and are a significant boost to frontline morale. It is extremely disappointing to discover that anyone could think otherwise."
