She said: “They didn’t put it in the edit but three of the judges said my name as well, so I already knew I’d been rumbled.”

Even Sophie’s one year old knew it was her
The mum of five decided to disguise her voice to throw the judges off the scent – something her kids found hilarious.
Sophie said: “My kids found it absolutely hilarious that I put on such a weird accent. They were like: ‘Why on earth did you do that?’”
The singer also revealed that her youngest, one-year-old Mickey, even guessed it was his mum before she was unmasked.
Speaking on Instagram, she said: “Even my one year old pointed at the telly and shouted: ‘Mummy!’ when I started singing in the alien suit.”
