Lydia: “I don’t let anything hold me back”

Before her solo, Lydia’s mum told the cameras on the ITV show that she has always encouraged her daughter to be fearless.

She said: “We were told that there were two ways of dealing with it, you wrap her in cotton wool, or you prepare her to do anything.”

Speaking ahead of her performance, Lydia said: “I was born with a genetic condition affecting my eyes which means that I am blind.

“I don’t let anything hold me back, I love giving things a go and I love surprising people.”
