Essex girl Lucy attempted to find music stardom on Simon Cowell’s reality TV juggernaut The X Factor in 2013.
During the series the ITV hit premiered its Bootcamp elimination process, the six chair challenge.
Lucy was one of the first victims of the twist on musical chairs – she lost her seat and missed out on a place in the Judges’ Houses round.
She went on to star on The Voice UK in 2016, where she placed in fourth, behind Jolan, Cody Frost and winner Kevin Simm.
After coming third on the programme – she was dubbed the ‘new Fergie’ when she performed alongside her mentor will.i.am at the Royal Albert Hall in 2016.
Speaking to Daily Mail outside the venue before she took to the stage, Lydia beamed: ‘I’m so excited for tonight. It’ll be an amazing show.
‘You know what, I grew up listening to the [The Black Eyes] Peas. This is just so surreal for me to be here and be performing with Will. He’s a legend.’
And she took like a pro to her childhood dreams as she performed alongside Will, rapper Taboo and Apl.de.ap.

No stranger to the limelight, she also appeared on cult reality show The Only Way Is Essex the following year, after being romantically linked to Ricky Rayment.
Yet despite pursuing her dreams to become a singer, Lydia later admitted that she has found fame hard to cope with, exclusively telling Daily Mail about the vile trolls who sent her death threats.
After being linked to the break-up between TOWIE’s Ricky and Jessica Wright, the star received a barrage of abuse on Twitter, with some even sending her death threats.
‘I was quite upset at the time but I think you’re going to get [targeted by] Twitter trolls with everything that you do so you’ve got to take it with a pinch of salt,’ she said.
‘Music is my life so I’ve got to take the good with the bad.’
Clearing up the rumours that she sent Ricky flirtatious text messages whilst he was dating Jessica, she explained: ‘It was nothing to do with me, it wasn’t my fault. I was just accidentally brought into it…
‘I’ve not seen any of them since. I’ve only ever met Ricky twice any way so this is the funny thing about it. There was literally nothing going on.’
