Monica made it through to 2014's Six Chair Challenge section of the show. However, her rendition of Olly Murs's Troublemaker didn't hit the right notes with Cheryl and she wasn't granted a chair in her Girls category, thereby losing a spot at Judges' Houses.

"I'm so happy to see you," Cheryl says as Monica takes to the stage on tonight's show. "I got it wrong big time," she adds. "You were the biggest regret of my category last year."

Monica admits she's not just returned for herself, but to lead by example for the children she works with on a local music initiative in North London. "I've got to show them that if you don't succeed you keep going back."
