This Story Contains Spoliers for up coming X Factor Shows

X Factor star Kerry McGregor is struggling with the decision to move to London for the show.

The wheelchair-bound singer, who lives in Pumpherston, West Lothian, will leave behind her husband Dean and 17-month-old son Joshua after landing a place in the final 12.

A friend told the News of the World: "It's always been Kerry's dream to be a famous singer and she has never let her disability get in her way. It'll be tough for her to leave little Joshua, but she knows that her family are backing her all the way. Kerry's been given a huge opportunity and she has to grab it with both hands."

McGregor will be mentored by Sharon Osbourne, who is coaching the '25 and over' acts for the rest of the series.

A show insider added: "Kerry's caused a real stir backstage. She's got a great voice and has confidence and a positive attitude. She also has an amazing story. She's triumphed over adversity and shown amazing courage not to let her disability get in her way."
