Amelia Lily, aged 17 has to take four insulin injections a day as she fights Diabetes. X factor's returned contestant says "Adrenalin uses a lot of energy, so I need to decrease my insulin levels before I perform."
She returned to the X Factor last week after Frankie Cocozza was booted off, and says the "stress and pressure" of the show makes it hard for her to control the life threatening disease. She has to be careful that high blood sugar she doesn't make her "go blind."
Amelia is now a favorite the win the singing competition, but she admit's she "used to have fits when she was younger". I admire her for getting up on stage, and still pursuing her dream.

The star was seen "sobbing in the car park the other week" when Frankie Cocozza hooked up with another girl. An OK! interview revealed she thought the story of her romantic attachment to Frankie a "Laughable". According to Amelia, they went to the car park to have a cigarette, nothing more as the papers implied, and that she was crying as he dog was rushed to the vets that evening. She denies saying "I can't believe he's done this", saying the press twisted her words, as she maybe was referring to her dog being blind.

Last night's performance shows just how determined she is to win the competition. I am no fan of shouty performances as you know, and I feel she does this a little, but I think she has a good image, and I can see why the public are warming to her and voting.
Here is an interview with Amelia Lily celebrating her return to the show:
