But she now needs public support to reach the next stage of the competition.

Her mum Michelle said: “She was chosen for a place at Charthouse music in London by producer and songwriter Laurence Hobbs, who has worked with Sam Smith and Pixie Lott.

“To get through to the semi-final, she needs votes. It would be great, representing our local area, if she got through.

“They had over 10,000 people apply so she has done really well.”
