Hmmm... KaTe was absolutely definitely not at #1 on the show I taped off UK
Gold - there was a chart rundown at the top of the show - so, if what PDFM 
says here is correct, it was her debut performance. It may be that the show's 
original date of airing is revealed on it, but I can't check this myself
because Chris has the tape now.

I could have sworn KaTe was wearing a dark gown, but I guess if the slacks 
were baggy enough they could look like a gown...
