VIDEO: Annastacia hopes she has X Factor


A 19-YEAR-OLD singer from Thamesmead has been voted a hit by the judges on TV's The X Factor.

In last weekend's show Annastacia Baker made it into the final 24 contestants after coming through boot-camp at the O2 in Greenwich.

The former pupil of Cleeve Park School in Bexley Lane, Sidcup, is in the girls aged 14-24 category - which will be judged by Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole.

She now faces an intense two-day competition at Ms Cole's house in Cannes, France, after which two people will be selected to go through to the live final rounds of the show.

Annastacia, who lives with her mum Rose in Drake Crescent, Thamesmead, said: "I'm still in so much shock.

"I just can't believe how far I've got.

"This is such a great experience I don't want it to end."

The mother of six-month-old daughter Nevaeh added: "I'm going to keep on trying and trying no matter what happens.

"I'm going to keep going and boy am I going to do my best when I get there.

"I can't wait."

See how Annastacia got on by watching the show on Saturday at 7.45pm on ITV1.
