Peeches Murren has been named the Soca Monarch Ultimate Fan. The young mother of a two-month baby has not been to a party in more than a year.In her contest entry write-up, Murren said: "I would very much like to attend the upcoming International Soca Monarch and support "Boy" (Machel Montano) and the other finalists. I truly believe that I deserve to be your Party Like A Star – Ultimate Fan."
To win the prize, Murren had to send a photo of herself and answer questions from the Caribbean Prestige Foundation such as: What is Mr Munro's favourite clothing colour? Name the sobriquets of three artistes who never defended their International Soca Monarch crown in our history and name eight soca artistes that entered the very first Soca Monarch Competition?
Murren will join the celebrity commentary panel which includes Vivica Fox, Tatyana Ali and Damien Wayans at the International Groovy and Power Soca Monarch Competitions tonight. The show starts at 9 pm.
