An X Factor star has sadly died.
Stephanie Ternent Reid, known for her show-stopping voice on the talent show which wowed Cheryl Tweedy and Simon Cowell, has sadly died aged 36. Reid died soon after celebrating her first wedding anniversary.
The loving mum-of-two, who also worked at Hibernian Football Club and ran her own venture, Scent With Love, was a fixture in Edinburgh's live music scene. Her stint on The X Factor came to an abrupt end when she was axed due to an over-selection of acts for Boot Camp.

"My precious girl, mum doesn't know how to carry on without you but I will do my very best for your two beautiful babies and love and care for them just as you did with every bone in your body. You were the most loving kind thoughtful person to grace this earth and I am proud to call you my daughter. Life for me can never ever be the same but I promise your babies will know how amazing and loving their beautiful mummy was."
