Now, she has made it to the live shows – here's everything we know about the hotel singer.
Who is Bella Penfold?
Bella is 19 years old who lives in Essex and works as a singer at a hotel.
She rose to fame as an X Factor contestant following her first audition during which she sang Joss Stone's Fell In Love With A Boy.
Ayda Field commented on her audition, saying: "You're like a puppy. You still need to grow into your paws, but I see a lot of potential in you."
Bella then made it through the Six Chair Challenge singing Blinded by your Grace which moved Simon so immensely that he decided to press his golden buzzer.
Now, Bella is preparing her performances for the live shows as she is now an official contestant having passed all the pre-live show tests.
