Stacey Solomon, a 19 year-old student from Dagenham in Essex who also works part-time in a pub, has made it through to the final twelve contestants and is now in with a good chance of going all the way.
Stacey, who is a single mum with a one-year old son called Zach, has auditioned for the X Factor before, although she's never made it past the first stage. So now she's got this far into the competition, will this year finally be her year to win it?
It could very well be if her first audition is anything to go by. When she sang Louis Armstrong's "It's a Wonderful World", she confounded the judges expectations. Each one of the judges obviously had pre-conceived ideas about Stacey, probably because of her outwardly nervous, dippy manner and her Estuary accent. But those prejudices were blown away when she started to sing. Was that a tear we saw in Danii's eye and was Louis' bottom lip trembling a little there?
One of the great things about Stacey is that she comes across as being very down-to-earth, humble and completely unaware of her massive talent. This in itself is very refreshing. She's just a normal Essex Girl - when she's not dressed up for performing on the X Factor, she likes to wear her favourite pink track suit and Pink Ugg Boots.
Her dream is to win the X Factor so that she can support her family and provide for her son Zach. And in her own words, if it doesn't work out, "there's always Asda!"
Can Stacey Solomon win the X Factor? Maybe!
