Well well well!!

That was one hard ass week! we were really really worked hard. I don’t know if you noticed but I actually slipped a disc in my back on the island during the dance class.I was in so! much pain. but I had to carry on.. I couldn’t leave from an injury.. I wouldn’t have forgiven myself. so I just battled on through.. and LORD it was worth it as I got through to the next round and traveled to Mallorca ! ( coming in next blog)lol!

The whole week on the island was full on. Donna the acting coach put us through our paces and I learnt a lot from her.. ( even tho she scared me to death!!!!!!!) its productive.

Great fun also making the videos and recording the songs. craziest moment when Iwas recording in the booth and looking out at Mel C grooving away to me singing.. not gonna lie.. it was a treat!

overall it was a fantastic week.. and thank the LORD I made it through.. yey!

Watching all the amazing tweets and messages come through is so heart warming.. can’t believe the time everyone is taking.. thank you! xxx

Well tonight was the first Superstar show on ITV1 I hope you all enjoyed it.

It was so funny watching my audition! very strange. I hope it came across well . I was happy with my audition. The Superstar Island episode is on tomorrow . That was a crazy experience. really hard! you will see it tomorrow. fingers crossed for me please!

Good night and thank you for all the support. it feels amazing to know you are all behind me! xx
