But I don't need a packed club to have fun, it could be in a friend's house, it could be at home.'Dancing has always played a major part in my joy…I always call myself an original raver because I've always been somebody who loves going out.'That's how I started MC-ing in the first place; I was in these dances or clubs or raves where that energy was just so infectious.'Her latest return to the party scene comes less than a fortnight before she reunites with Sabrina Washington and Su-Elise Nash for Mis-Teeq’s first major concert in more than 20 years.The trio will celebrate the 25th anniversary of their double-platinum debut album, Lickin’ On Both Sides, with a one-off concert at the OVO Arena Wembley on September 12.Explaining why they had finally agreed to reunite after turning down previous approaches, Miss Dixon told British Vogue: ‘We’ve been offered reunion stuff over the years, but it’s never felt right.’
