I’m still a Welsh girl at heart so I’m staying in the U.K. for the Olympics, it’s such an exciting time for Britain so it’s amazing to be a part of it.

Katherine Jenkins frames her decision to remain in the U.K. during the Olympics as an expression of identity and belonging. By calling herself “a Welsh girl at heart,” she emphasizes that national and regional roots persist despite an international career, and that those roots shape personal choices. The quote also captures the Olympics as a moment of collective celebration: she presents the Games not merely as a sporting event but as a rare period of shared excitement and pride for Britain. Her language (“amazing to be a part of it”) suggests participation through presence and solidarity, aligning celebrity life with public feeling.
