"I鈥檓 from a really small village in Northern Ireland called Drumfurn, I love it but there really isn鈥檛 much opportunity for budding singers like me. One of my biggest fans is my Nan, Patricia 鈥搒he鈥檚 always really supported me and has taught me to dream big - that鈥檚 the reason I auditioned for The Voice.

I do live in a bit of a bubble and people are always asking me if I鈥檓 naturally blonde which is soooo unfair. I can鈥檛 help it if I ask stupid questions & believe everything I鈥檓 told鈥�!

I鈥檓 a bubbly, giggly, character and my friends are always laughing at me. My biggest fear is actually birds - gosh they scare me! I鈥檓 always running away from pigeons - it makes me go bright red. Singing has the opposite effect, it鈥檚 the one thing that makes me feel the most relaxed. Actually performing in concert, then winning a BRIT & then chilling with Beyonc茅 and One Direction would be really relaxing. As long as there are no birds involved"

DO YOU HAVE ANY BAD HABITS?

I always itch my nose which looks bad caught on camera but I swear I鈥檓

WHAT鈥橲 THE BEST THING YOU鈥橵E EVER DONE?

Audition for this wonderful show of course (brownie points deserved!)

ANY PHOBIAS?

I鈥檓 scared of birds

WHAT鈥橲 YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT?

Running away from pigeons on public streets always embarrasses me and everyone I鈥檓 with. Oops
