Alicia Hooper appeared on the show and wanted to take the next step in her singing career. The 34-year-old hailed from Newport and hoped to make her daughter proud with her performance.

However, viewers following the show on Twitter were taken aback when they realised the actor had previously appeared on our screens as Amber Hearst in hit BBC children's show, The Story of Tracy Beaker.

@longwayoff said: "NO WAY ITS AMBER FROM TRACY BEAKER."

Charlie posted: "OH MY GOD I KNEW I RECOGNISED HER!!"

Rosie commented: "Hope she's good remember her in Tracy Beaker"

Amy tweeted: "I thought i recognised her! Was only in my favourite show as a kid"

Shane added: "OMG SHE WAS MY CHILDHOOD"

Alicia addressed her appearance on the hit children's show and revealed she is still mainly known for a line she delivered on the show. She proceeded to put in a stunning performance of All I Know So Far by Pink.

However, Alicia's journey came to an end when the judge did not turn their chair, but they later regretted their decision and praised her rendition.
