Louis told Ivy Grace “You’re like a little diva.”
Nicole added: “Everybody comes in here saying ‘I want it so bad, am fighting for it’ but that, right there, is wanting it and fighting for it.”
“You did yourself proud,” Sharon told Ivy Grace.
When asked why she decided to join the X-Factor UK, Ivy Grace said:
