A mum-of-four from Morecambe has won a national talent show after seizing a second chance with a little help from her three-year-old daughter.
Chelsea Thomas won the £1,000 first prize in the 'Pub Idol' competition beating singers from all over the UK.
During the final she was joined on stage by little Lottie who decided to duet with her mum during her performance of 'Falling' by Alicia Keys!
Barmaid Chelsea, who works at the Joiners Arms in Morecambe, said she was "shocked" to be announced as the winner at the final held in Stoke-on-Trent.
She had been given a second chance after an original finalist dropped out, and grasped it, wowing the judges with her renditions of 'Falling' and 'Weakness in Me' by Keisha White.

"I got through the heat, then got through the second round, but unfortunately I came third in the (final qualifier) for the final," said Chelsea.
"But the lady who came second unfortunately couldn't make it to the national final. So I got the opportunity and ended up winning it.
"My mouth was wide open, I was in utter shock, I couldn't believe it! I'm still in shock!
"I do enjoy singing and it's something when the kids are older that I might take up as something more."
Chelsea, who regularly sings karaoke at the Joiners and at Smokey O'Connors in Morecambe, said she would be spending the money on her children Layla, Lucie, Charlie and Lottie.
She also thanked her children and partner Matthew, and her boss David Hutton and the team at the Joiners for their support.
As well as the cash prize, Chelsea also won the chance to record in a professional music studio.
