Ousted X Factor contestant Gamu Nhengu stole the show at the Mobo Awards in Liverpool.
The teenage singer, who has been the subject of headlines over her controversial exit from the ITV series, made a surprise appearance at the ceremony, which took place at Merseyside's Echo Arena.
As scores of fans screamed her name, Gamu said: "I am so excited. I'm so nervous. I hope I don't make a fool out of myself."
The 18-year-old Zimbabwean also found a fan in former Destiny's Child star Michelle Williams, who told her how much she enjoyed her X Factor performance. "I'm rooting for you. Whatever happens, you'll be fine", said Michelle.
Tinie Tempah and JLS were the big winners at this year's Mobo Awards, taking home two trophies each.
N-Dubz and Professor Green both scooped one.
