Connie made it through to the final, where she finished in second place behind opera singer Paul Potts.

"Thank you @boyceavenue for having me and to all the crew for making this tour so special," reports Belfast Live.
She concluded: "BRB, just crying that it's over... may have to arrange a mini tour."
