She's so far this year's favourite to win The X Factor following her show-stopping performance on Sunday night's show.

But it seems singing isn't Kiera Weathers' only talent as the star revealed she also has a penchant for pole-dancing in a cheeky Instagram snap.

The 18-year-old student blew judges away with her rendition of Jermaine Stewart's We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off, though ironically it seems the barmaid is quite often scantily-clad whilst taking part in her racy hobby.

Singing isn't her only talent! The X Factor star Kiera Weathers has unearthed her penchant for pole dancing in an impressive Instagram snap

Dressed in a pair of tiny shorts and tummy-flaunting crop top, the star shows off just how limber she is as she holds the handspring pose.

'Hand-spring #poleshow,' she captioned the impressive snap, that she now appears to have removed from the social network.

Kiera, from St. Helens, Merseyside, received four yeses from the judges after her performance on Sunday night's episode.

Overjoyed: The star was overwhelmed by the judge's sweet comments

'I don't want to be stuck behind a bar for the rest of my life,' she told mentors Simon Cowell, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Rita Ora and Nick Grimshaw before wowing them with her strong vocals.

But it looks as though Kiera's dreams could very much become a reality as both Simon and Cheryl were desperate to take her under their wing.

'You've got taste,' the music mogul told her, while Cheryl insisted she had 'star quality'.

Candid: The student appeared on Lorraine Kelly's breakfast show on Monday, where she opened up about losing her mother and becoming a more positive person

Now amid the favourites to win this year's show, Kiera stopped by Lorraine Kelly's ITV1 breakfast show on Monday, where she also opened up about losing her mother.

'I lost my mum when she was just 38-years-old,' she said. 'It's been very tough in the sense of everything that's happened.'

But despite the tragedy, the inspiring teen revealed that she has taken away some positives.

She added: 'But, I think it's made me mature a lot. It's taught me to never judge a book by its cover. You never know what other people might be going through.

'To me though, this is just a small part of my journey. If anything, it's spurred me on.'
