Molly Scott is heading through to this year's live shows after impressing mentor Simon Cowell and a star-studded line-up of guests at the judges' houses round.

The teenager, from Easington, has always had a passion for singing - and mum Louise, 48, thinks Molly can go all the way.

She said: "Molly's been performing for a long time and even recently she's gone into a few schools where the children and even the parents have loved seeing her.

"She's really mature for her age and strong-minded as well. When she puts her mind to something she always gives 100% and I'm sure she will with the X Factor."

Sixteen-year-old Molly wowed Cowell and his guests with her performance of Fake Love, by K-pop band BTS.

She joins fellow contestants Bella Penfold, Scarlett Lee and Shan in the Girls category.

Now, we have just weeks to wait to see how Molly, who goes to school in Hartlepool, will get on in the live shows, which start on October 20.
