Kayleigh Taylor seemingly didn’t fill them with confidence at first, as she burst onto the stage in front of Simon, Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh and Nicole Scherzinger and displayed her embarrassing back tattoo.
“I was in Magaluf and it was only a Euro so I did. Do you want to have a look?” she teased, before revealing the inking of Simon’s full name.
But while the panel cringed and Simon warned the brunette to “get on with singing” her song, as soon as Kayleigh started belting her version of My Immortal by Evanescence, she blew them away with her strong vocals.
Clearly astonished by the sharp turn around, Simon praised the mother for her “beautiful” voice and Sharon gave her some stern words of advice.

“Let me tell you something Mrs, stop all the cr*p about the weight it doesn’t matter, it’s who you are if you want it to be. And if you’re comfortable, show it,” she said.
“This is what this show’s all about you have a gift! Music likes you, you do have a beautiful gift,” Nicole added.
The support from Sharon sent Kayleigh bursting into tears, and viewers took to Twitter to gush about the superstar.
One person posted: “Kayleigh to win #XFactor absolutely hilarious and the best singer! Do it for the pool girl! #liverpool.”
