The X Factor: Sisterly love makes Cheryl cry

X Factor judge Cheryl Fernandez-Versini was moved to tears by one singer in round three of the X Factor auditions…

Monica Michael, a 24-year-old youth worker from north London, sang a song she wrote specially for her 16-year-old sister Natalie, called Pretty Little Sister.

“I went off the rails but I’ve turned my life around,” the youth worker told the judges. “I want to inspire my sister I want my family to know I’ve changed.”

The song included the lines, “You saved my life, you don’t even have a clue” and Cheryl was clearly overcome by emotion.

“It really touched me because my sister writes me poems and she has since I was little, so I completely related to that song,” Cheryl told Monica.

But were the other judges as moved as Cheryl?
