Confessing that she would rather not be as “dovecote” as she was, the talent show contestant told The Sun: “You have to be prepared to work with them, and they will guide you and go back and forth with you. for six or seven months before the first hearing “.
When it came time for the big hearing in February 2019, Siobhan was approached by a consultant who believed she had “collapsed”.
Recalling how she was there for 14 hours before making her debut, Siobhan explained that she “does not eat” because you are constantly being moved from one room to another and was simply offered “a tiny Haribo Starmix bag”. ‘

Siobhan’s performance may have been a delight to the jury, but those who secured four yes were met by the producers with a piece of paper once off stage.
“I saw people rejoicing for the four of them, yes, then I gave them this paper and I never saw them again or on TV,” Sioban said.
For months, talent show nominees have been wondering if they will make it to the competition, with Siobhan remembering the day of the judges’ debate as “more brutal” than the audition itself.

She revealed: “It’s so boring and you feel like you’re built to be nervous. “But once you get through that day, you know you’re on the show.”
There are six weeks between “talk day” and live shows, but producers are constantly updating lyrics, set-ups and last-minute orders, according to Siobhan.
Despite the exhausting details of the process, the singer-songwriter was highly praised by the judges, especially Amanda whose “door was always open”.

Elsewhere, Siobhan talked about the moment when abductor Jimmy Tamley called Simon on stage as part of his action and said “no” live during the series’ work.
Siobhan claimed that Jimmy had the right to bring Simon on stage, but was soon “annoyed” with the producers as Simon clearly did not want to be there.
He praised him for handling the torturous moment, but admitted that it “influenced” him.
