I went there to study music and I wanted to get away from bad people\u2026..bullies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her mum was waiting backstage and cried as she described her daughter\u2019s teenage years and difficult childhood.<\/p>\n<p>She explains: \u201cLucy has had a very tough life growing up. My first husband and I broke up when she was young and it knocked her confidence a lot, She struggled to fit in, there was a lot of bullying. Everything suffered, school life, home life\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo many nights where I would just rock her to sleep. It was so sad. It got to a point where things got so bad she questioned her own right to live.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought if I don;t do something now, I know I am going to lose her. I asked her what she wanted to do and within a split second she said \u2018I want to sing.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe struggles with confidence, she is not good at having people looking at her but when she sings she gets transported. She needs to believe in herself. She is stronger than she thinks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kay admits that she considered suicide on more than one occasion before discovering her passion for singing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew I had issues. My mum didn\u2019t know what to do with me,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou wake up and think \u2018I have to go to school and I have to go through this again.

You sang a piece of opera that I don\u2019t know and most of the people in this room don\u2019t know but we were all incredibly moved. That\u2019s testament to how incredible your voice is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alesha Dixon adds: \u201cThat was so moving, we were with you all the way. You should be so proud. You have a gift and I am not an expert in opera but that was great to listen to. Wonderful audition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amanda Holden says: \u201cI just couldn\u2019t take my eyes off you and I would have listened to that all afternoon. Just beautiful. Well done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Simon Cowell told the singer: \u201cI have heard a lot of stories like yours and today is the day where you forget about those people for the rest of your life. Some of the best singers do sing through pain and you have learned how to use that\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw you change as you felt the audience\u2019s acceptance. Today is the day you learn to smile properly because what you just did was brilliant. Really, really special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to hear those people mentioned ever again right? This is just about you now and your very special talent Lucy. That song was beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards David Walliams said: \u201cIt is very rare that an act comes on stage and you instantly want to see it again. I am so glad you came to see us.
