‘Rollercoaster’ for Molly family
The family of X Factor singing sensation Molly Scott have told of their anxious wait to find out if the teenager would make it through to the next stage of the show.
The 16-year-old, from Easington, made her debut appearance on the live shows of the ITV competition on Saturday, where she sang Fake Love by BTS.
The former English Martyrs pupil wowed the judges and received a standing ovation from her mentor Simon Cowell and fellow judge Robbie Williams.
Her performance earned her enough votes from the public to make it through to this Saturday’s live show.
Following her appearance last week, proud dad Martin Scott, 47, has told the Mail of how the family faced a tense wait to find out if Molly had made it.
The electrical engineer said: “It’s been an emotional rollercoaster. We were so pleased with Molly’s performance, but then you start worrying about the public voting and then on Sunday night you’re nervously waiting on the results.”
Parents Martin and Louise Scott said they are very grateful to have the support of the region.
Martin added: “Overall its been fantastic and we are overwhelmed with all of the good luck messages and positive feedback she has had.”
Molly, who returned home for a brief visit this week after the first live show, thanked the community for their support.
She said: “I am back in Easington, my home town, and I can’t thank everyone enough for their support.
“The shops and everything are full of my photos. “I am so, so happy – please keep supporting me.”
The talented singer successfully battled through to the first of the live shows after impressing in a round of auditions at judge Simon Cowell’s Malibu home.
Molly will be back on The X Factor on Saturday, at 8.35pm. To vote for Molly, call 090 20 50 51 04, or on mobile call 6 50 51 04.
