Song that got you to the final:

Wake Me Up - Avicii

Did you watch your episode?

I watched the show with close friends and family at my fave pub. It was an amazing show and the response from my family and friends was fab! The show really left us all buzzing.

Did you get to know your fellow finalists?

I did get to meet my fellow finalist and they’re all amazing in every way. All I can say is, once you experience something with people, even if they were strangers two days before, or not, we’re all friends for life now, and that’s thanks to the show.

Song for the final?

Came Here For Love - Ella Eyre. I ended up going with this song because I love it very much.

How did you feel backstage?

Well, I was a mess! I’m surprised I made it out, but I did and I loved every minute of it. I wish I could do it all again, but with no nerves!

What was the atmosphere like when you walked out in front of The 100?

It’s very intense because in your mind you’re like: 'right this is it!' They are all looking at you and judging you. It’s scary to just put yourself out there in front of 100 strangers, but then it’s not just 100 strangers is it? You’ve also got the audience, and then the world once it airs - wow, it’s very nerve wracking even thinking about it.

What is your favourite all time song and/or artist?

I don’t actually have a favourite song, that would be impossible. I love stuff from 1950’s up to the now, so I’ll just tell you some artists that have inspired me to follow my dreams, artists like Mary J Blige, Pink, Etta James, Lady Gaga, Gwen Stefani, Cardi B, Paloma Faith and Jess Glynne I could go on but I just realised you asked for one!
