The star in question is Charlotte Jaconelli.
The singer, now 29, was just 16 years old when she auditioned for Simon Cowell as one half of singing duo Jonathan and Charlotte, alongside her friend Jonathan Antoine.
The singing pair won over the judges with their rendition of Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion's duet The Prayer in their audition, and made it to the finals.
They eventually finished as runners up on the 2012 series, narrowly losing out on the win to Ashleigh Butler and her dog Pudsey.
Charlotte said at the time: "Oh my God, we came second. It's incredible."
Today, the performer looks a world away from her BGT days - and is now a megastar on London's West End.
In fact, she has revealed her next racy role which sees her transformed into a sex siren.
Announcing her big news, Charlotte shared a VERY sexy snap of herself in costume, as she gets ready to star in Burlesque The Musical.
The star shared some behind-the-scenes snaps, which included her in an eyepopping leotard which she almost spilling out of.
Her sexy look was completed with a pair of black tights.
Announcing her exciting news, Charlotte told her fans: "IT'S BURLESQUE! Meet Queenie - My theatre fairy god mother @todrick keeping me busy and singing notes as high as my heels.
"See you at The Savoy this summer to bring the iconic @burlesquethemusicaluk to the main stage.
"Hold your hats for the genius of @stevenantin & Miss Hall…it's gonna be FABULOUS."
LIFE AFTER BGT
After making a huge impression on BGT viewers, Jonathan and Charlotte, who first met when they were 11 years old at school, went on a UK arena tour.

The singing duo then recorded their first album, Together, in 2012 for Simon Cowell's label Syco.
Their second album, Perhaps Love, was released a year later in October 2013.
However, the pair went their separate ways in 2014 after they were both offered solo record deals by Sony Deals.
But despite starting their journey together, Jonathan previously admitted that the duo were no longer as close.
Asked by ITV's Lorraine if they were "still pals" in 2017, he admitted: "We don't really get to speak very often but that's the nature of it.
"You don't really get the time to speak to your friends, my family comes everywhere with me and they're my longevity."
BECOMING A WEST END STAR
After going solo, Charlotte headed for the bright lights of the West End, and has since become a successful theatre star.
She made her debut in 2018 as part of the original cast of The Boy in the Dress.
Since then, Charlotte has appeared in Heathers: The Musical, and Sunset Boulevard alongside Nicole Scherzinger.

It was only back in May that he told fans about his wife's pregnancy Twin Joy Brit rock star welcomes twins with stunning model wife as he shares first pics and unusual names Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A HUGE Brit rock star has welcomed twins with his stunning model wife, sharing their first pics and unusual names. Oli Sykes, 38, who is the lead vocalist for Bring Me the Horizon, officially became a dad after his Brazilian model wife Victoria Alissa Salles Silva, 27, announced she had given birth. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Bring Me The Horizon's Oli Sykes has welcomed twins with his stunning model wife Credit: Getty 6 She shared their first pics and unusual names to Instagram Credit: instagram In an Instagram post, she shared an image of the tots - writing, 'amor infinito,' which translates to "infinite love", adding, "grey & zélia." Oli, who has been married to Victoria since 2017, reshared the image to his Story. The pair met while she was working as a model for his Drop Dead Clothing collection. It was only back in May that Oli told fans about their big news. In a video he shared, both Oli and Victoria could be seen sitting at their dining table with a box each in front of them. Opening the boxes, they each got out a cupcake that would end up revealing the gender of their twins. "Oh my god," Victoria said as she opened her box. "Are you ready?" she asked Oli, to which he said: "Bite it, bite it." Victoria took a bite and then revealed that there was pink sponge inside the first cupcake. Oli declared: "We're having a baby girl!" Huge UK rock star reveals his stunning girlfriend is pregnant with twins The rocker then opened his box and munched into his cupcake. As Oli revealed the colour inside his cake, the pair both screamed loudly. "Oh my god, no f**king way, no f**king way," Oli said as he turned the cupcake around so it was in view of the camera lens. Showing off the blue sponge, it was revealed that the pair would be welcoming a baby daughter and a baby son. Victoria then said: "This is crazy!" Commenting on the post, one person said: "Congratulations to you both." Another added: "This is the cutest thing I've ever seen CONGRATS." What are the different types of twins? TWINS are when two children are produced in the same pregnancy. They can be identical or different, and two boys, two girls, or a girl and a boy. Twins are quite rare, but are usually born completely healthy What are the different types of twins? Monozygotic – identical twins ('one cell' twins) Dizygotic – also known as 'fraternal', non identical twins. Babies are no more alike than siblings born at separate times, and they can be the same or different sexes Conjoined twins – identical twins that are joined together. They are extremely rare, and it's estimated they range from one in 49,000 to 189,000 births, although around half are stillborn, and one third die within 24 hours. Can identical twins be two different sexes? Identical twins are always of the same sex because they form from the same fertilised egg that contains either female or male chromosomes. The single egg is divided into two separate embryos, and they occur in about three in every 1000 deliveries worldwide. Therefore, boy/girl twins are always fraternal (or dizygotic), as their chromosomes are either XY (male) or XX (female). What are Di Di twins? Di Di stands for Dichronic Diamniotic, and they are the common type of twins. They have their own amniotic sacs and placenta, so are just sharing the womb of the mother, and are therefore not identical. There are few complications with Di Di twins, so have a good chance of being born completely healthy without intervention from your doctor. Di di twins are more likely to be non-identical than identical. "You hit the lottery omg twins and a boy n girl," penned a third. A fourth then wrote: "OMG Oli is going to be a father! Did not expect the news of twins, but congrats to you both." While a fifth said: "OMG I'M FOLLOWING HAPPINESS!!!!! PLEASE BE HEALTHY!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!" And a sixth added: "So exciting. Best feeling in the world." Bring Me the Horizon are a British rock band. They were formed in Sheffield more than 20 years ago in 2004. The group currently consists of lead vocalist Oli, drummer Matt Nicholls, guitarist Lee Malia and bassist Matt Kean. 6 It was only back in May that he told fans about his wife's pregnancy Credit: instagram/olobersykes/ 6 In a gender reveal video, they found out they are expecting both a boy and a girl Credit: instagram/olobersykes/ 6 Oli is loved up with wife Victoria Credit: Instagram/Olobersykes

Love Island in fresh fakery row as two stars who hooked up BEFORE show have coupled up on screen without admitting it
LOVE Island has been plunged into a huge fakery row as two singles have ALREADY hooked up, in that same villa, two months ago. Ty Isherwood and Lauren Wood both took part in ITV's unfilmed rehearsal week in May, when they first got together. 6 Love Island has been plunged into a huge fakery row, The Sun can exclusively reveal Credit: Eroteme 6 Ty Isherwood and Lauren Wood both hooked up in Love Island's unfilmed rehearsal week in May Credit: Eroteme 6 Yet they have pretended never to have met before after entering the main villa following the Casa Amor stage Credit: Eroteme They were then invited back by show bosses to join the series proper as part of Casa Amor where they coupled up with other Islanders. Now back in the main villa, they have acted like strangers. A source said: 'Ty and Lauren are acting like they've only just met but that's far from the case. 'They hooked up during the dry run, which is where a fake cast moves into the villa to test out everything from camera angles, to kitchen appliances and run-through challenges. 'And then they even saw each other on the outside before ITV invited them back to be part of Casa Amor. 'Now they're both in the main villa pretending like none of this ever happened but it's all entirely fake and ITV know about it. 'Viewers deserve to know it's all a huge sham.' COUPLING UP Lauren, 26, was selected by Harrison Solomon, 23, whilst Ty, also 23, was chosen by Shakira Khan, 22 in the mid-series relationship test earlier this month. In a twist of fate, on Tuesday night both of the fakers were dumped by their partners so boomeranged back to each other. Furious Love Islanders slam Shakira as she sends couple home in shock dumping decision Viewers watched a scene where the pair appeared to chat for the first time. Ty said: 'I feel like I've not really spoken to you. I feel like I've been catching eyes with you but I've not really had chance to speak to you. Lauren giggled: 'Yeah I know.' He asked: 'Are you still open? You knew that was coming. Obviously you're an attractive girl.' Love Island 2025 - Casa Amor girls WHO are the latest bombshells heading into the spin-off villa? The Sun exclusively reported the identities of the six beauties heading into the ITV2 spin-off villa, after it was teased during last week's episode. The Love Island newbies were seen strolling into the compound clad in swimwear - with one already having a connection to Harry. On the show's official Instagram page it teased: "Amor the merrier… who's ready for Casa Amor?" and now we can report the full line-up. Lauren Wood, 26, Emma Munro, 30 Lucy Quinn, 21 Yasmin Broom, 26 Andrada Pop, 27 Rheo Parnell, 26 Lauren was unable to keep a straight face and laughed, as Ty added: 'I feel like we'd get along.' The source added: 'Ty and Lauren don't live far from each other at home and they continued seeing each other after the dry run week. 'It was so awkward how the episode made out like they'd never met before. 'I think it's really important viewers know they're being duped.' Whilst fans are not charged to take part in voting for Love Island on ITV's dedicated mobile phone app, it does host messaging and paid links in a Shop The Show section from the show's sponsors eBay and Boots. There is also space for ITV's Love Island merchandise. An ITV spokesperson declined to comment. 6 A source told us the pair even saw each other on the outside world Credit: Eroteme 6 Shakira ditched Ty to couple up with Conor last night Credit: Eroteme

Actress uses ex-husband's sperm to become pregnant via IVF without his consent
Korean actress, Lee Si-young, has been accused of 'cornering' her ex into fatherhood after becoming pregnant via IVF using his sperm without his consent South Korean star, Lee Si-young, has been branded 'selfish' after admitting to using her ex-husband's sperm to become pregnant via IVF without his consent. Si-young, 43, was married to entrepreneur, Cho Seong-hyun, with whom she shares a seven-year-old son, for eight years until they divorced in March. The actress and former amateur boxer, who has four million followers on Instagram, recently announced she is pregnant again via an embryo, which was fertilised five years ago while she was still with Seong-hyun. Announcing the news on Instagram, in a now-deleted post, Si-young said she "had to make a choice" to use the embryo, adding that she "will bear the full weight of my decision" while admitting: "I didn't ask for consent from the other person". Explaining the reason behind her life-changing choice, she wrote as per a translation via The KTea's Instagram page: "Eight years ago, when I had my first child, now the most important person in my life, I was not married and filming a drama. "Back then, I was younger and had many shortcomings. Every time I saw Jung-yoon in my arms, I regretted and blamed myself for the time I spent with anxiety negatively. "That's why I promised myself that if I ever got another chance, I would never regret it again. I prepared for my second child through IVF during my marriage. "However, a long time passed without receiving the fertilised embryos, and the topic of divorce naturally came up. After all the legal process was sorted out, the five-year frozen embryo storage period was ending, and I had to make a choice. Before the disposal date, I decided to have the transplant myself." Admitting she didn't ask for consent "from the other person", she said: "Although I didn't ask for consent from the the other person, I will bear the full weight of my decision.' Si-young also said how grateful she was for her son, who helped her "endure her troubled married life", concluding: "Right now, I am only grateful for the new life that came to me, and I am spending a more peaceful and happy time. "I will humbly accept any criticism or advice you give me in the future." As per the Korea Times, Seong-hyun confirmed that he will help to parent his child, even though he "opposed the pregnancy". "Although I opposed the second pregnancy, now that the child is coming, I will do my best as a father," he told Dispatch, "Lee and I have continued to communicate for the sake of our first child and we will cooperate regarding the upbringing of both children." Following the bombshell news, fans were divided on social media, with some accusing the actress of "cornering" her ex into fatherhood. One posted: "Uh I feel like he was kinda cornered in this situation. He couldn't really refuse to raise the child because they already have one child together and do you really think they would co-parent one child and not the other???" However another replied: "It's their life and I try to feel empathy for everyone involved."
