But the brunette beauty was left red-faced after the music mogul stopped her performance to point out that there was no 'H' in Street Life, after she pronounced it 'shtreet'.

The single mum then began her audition again and soon had the judges in hysterics as she struggled to sing the song and pronounce it the correct way.

As her audition ended she said: ‘I can’t do that song now. I’m going to kill you!’

Before the judges prepared to give their verdict on the wannabe singer’s performance, Simon couldn’t help making a final quip about her disastrous attempt.

He smugly asked her: ‘Do you know Shtop?’

The single mum tweeted ahead of the show and said: ‘Worried o my lorddddddd’.

The X Factor is on at 8pm on ITV on September 6 and 7.
