All three judges got up to dance during her audition after Danny picked her to be part of his team.

She will now go through to the battle round as the contest continues.

Danny told her: “I love that song and how you sang it.
“It’s amazing and exciting and I’m already thinking about more things we can do.”

She watched the show go out at the Travelling Man in Boldon, where she sang a few songs before it hit the screens.
