One of her former teachers at English Martyrs School in Hartlepool said ‘she was always going to be a pop star’ and says it’s a huge opportunit­y for her.

Nadine Kennedy-Wood, who taught Molly for 10 years at Hartlepool’s Nadine Acadfamily and we are all going to vote.

“We are really trying to get everyone to get behind her and vote.

“Molly was so successful winning so many championsh­ip titles that she has got a lot of support in the dance scene around the country.

“I know it has been her dream for so long, so to see her achieving it I’m just so proud of how mature and genuine she is coming across.”

Molly was seen on Sunday singing for survival at Simon Cowell’s Malibu home in front of American Idol judges Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson.

Nadine added: “I can’t believe how calm she was. It is exciting times and really good for the North East.”

Also supporting Molly is her old school English Martyrs in Hartlepol, where only six weeks ago she was collecting her GCSE results with friends.

The school sent its message of congratula­tion to Molly on its Facebook and Twitter accounts.

The post said: “Unbelievab­le! Good Luck Molly! We will be voting every week!”

Molly’s old PE teacher and head of house, Victoria Parker described how her talent shone through from the age of 11.

Victoria said many staff have been following her progress on The X Factor closely over the last few weeks.

“To be honest she was always going to be a pop star. We are all very proud of her.”
