At age 19, Allison found fame by entering a talent contest on the BBC1 TV show That's Life!, presented by Esther Ranson, in 1992.

She won the contest, which was decided by a public telephone vote, and the competition prize was a recording contract.

The 90s star signed a record deal with BMG to work with producers Nigel Wright and Simon Cowell.

Her first single Boy From New York City reached #21 in the UK charts.

She then left BMG following the success of her first single.

Three years later she became the front lady and female vocalist of Cappella in 1995 following the departure of Kelly Overett.

That year, the band's comeback single Tell Me the Way reached number 17 in the UK.

After enjoying a few years of stardom, Allison decided to pack it all in and move back to England.

She then retired from the musical scene to care for her two children with her husband Stephen Hedger.

In 2004, she founded a monthly publication entitled The Paranormal News.

Allison then changed her name to Cloé Hedger and now works as a psychic medium.

The former star owns her own store and performs tarot card readings, a hobby she had during her time in the band.
