An X Factor hopeful who left Cheryl Fernandez-Versini a blubbering mess after her emotional audition for the talent show says she was stunned by the popstar’s reaction.
Sherilyn Hamilton-Shaw sang Whitney Houston’s I Didn’t Know My Own Strength for the judges after revealing a back story, which Simon Cowell called ‘one of the best we’ve ever had’.
‘I can’t handle that song,’ said a visibly-moved Cheryl after the audition.
Sherilyn had told the judges Cheryl, Simon and Nick Grimshaw she thought she’d never perform again after her husband Anthony had an accident that left him paralysed.
