Amy “Ariel” Burdett also known as Arabella Starchild (1981-12 November 2019) was a self-proclaimed "holistic vocal coach" from Wakefield who auditioned for Series 5 of The X Factor UK. She did not pass the audition stage after singing her own piece which she branded an academic construction. She is remembered for her scary look and her voice which Simon branded a ‘nightmare’.
