Emma said: “Thank you so much for all the support, I couldn’t have done it without you – I just can’t get my head around it”.
Dizzee Rascal told her: “That was beautiful and I think you’re a star already.”
Jamie Cullum said: “You are the most complete artist we have here at the moment – a winner!”
And Sharleen Spitteri said: “God I love you and your experience really showed the amount of time you have spent practising”
