County Durham X Factor star, Sam Lavery, says her dreams will come true on 16 December when she will perform at the Metro Radio Arena.
The 17-year-old singer will take part in 'Christmas Live' alongside John Legend, Craig David, James Arthur, Louisa Johnson and many more chart success stories.
Sam, who sang James Arthur's 'Impossible' on the ITV talent show says singing on the same stage as him on Friday will feel amazing, like her journey has gone full circle.
As well as seeing James on 16 December, Sam will see some other famous faces who have appeared on The X Factor 2016.
So what does she have in store for the 10,000 strong arena audience?
Sam has been supporting Matt Goss on his national tour, recording in the studio and attending countless photoshoots. She says she is eternally grateful to everyone backing her.
