Post-The X Factor

Her debut single, a cover of Chris Rea's "Driving Home for Christmas" was released in 2012 as part as an ad campaign by supermarket chain Iceland and reached #27 on the UK Charts. After several delays, her debut album "Shy" was released in November 2013.

She is best known to UK audiences for being a regular fixture on TV shows, such as the tenth series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, which saw her crowned Queen of the Jungle. She has also made appearances on several gameshows.

In 2016, she appeared several times as a panellist on ITV topical discussion show Loose Women and the following year appeared on the live final of The X Factor, interviewing the families of the finalists alongside former Union J singer George Shelley.
