The unemployed church volunteer was watched by a global audience of millions as she performed live in front of the nation for the first time.
The Scottish singer, 47, was competing in the semi-finals of the competition which she took by storm with the opening lines of her first song “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Miserables in the first round.
