Issy Ferris, 14, who goes to a stage school held at Blessed George Napier School in Springfield Avenue, made it through to the live final of ITV’s Born to Shine.

The Banbury Stagecoach student partnered former EastEnders actress Tracy-Ann Oberman when ITV recruited her after seeing a video of her sing online.

Born to Shine sees celebrities learn to perform new skills from children who are already prodigies.

Issy, an aspiring singer-songwriter who taught Ms Oberman her talent, said: “I was so excited about the show and really flattered that they had picked me. I put everything into it.”
