She is now a 50-year-old mother-of-two daughters and has been out of the music industry for many years.

However, Janice is now ready for another shot at stardom so she headed to the auditions to try out along side the next generation of singers.

She took to the stage to sing the iconic track that made her name back in the 90s - and it had a huge effect on the panel.

Judge Robbie Williams was left fighting back tears as he realised the significance of the moment.
