When Sarah enquired she found out the show in question was the X Factor, so she sent in her details.
She added: “I never thought for one second that it would actually happen.”
But she got the call and was invited to London to be part of the huge finale, performing with runner-up Grace Davies.

“I was sitting there with Simon Cowell right in front of me. Sharon Osborne smiled and gave me a thumbs up.
“As soon as I got on the train on the way home I watched it, it was a really weird experience.”
She said she would love to do it again, but is content to cross it off her bucket list.
