Sharon isn’t short of a few superlatives when she thinks of Roberta. She introduces her as "The wonderful! The fabulous! The beautiful! Sensational! Roberta!"

Sharon and her team feel they’d like Roberta to show more of her personality. During the lead up to the show vocal coach Mark Hudson took the Irish songstress out into grounds of the Osbourne mansion for a bit of primal screaming therapy. Hopefully she won’t be doing too much of that during tonight’s performance!

Sharon favours the direct approach and tells Roberta that before her performance she should go up to Louis and stick her tongue down his throat! Thankfully Roberta ignores this advice - or so we believe!

She graces the stage looking fantastic and has a very relaxed stage manner. Her song is Superstar originally a hit for The Carpenters. Roberta sings it with style and perfectly in tune.

The audience applauds loudly as mentor Sharon Osbourne greets Roberta with a hug. Kate asks Simon for his thoughts.

Simon: Erm, look you...This girl, she ticks all the boxes, she looks good, she sounds good. My only criticism is this: is that first of all whoever styled this girl and did her hair made her look like something out of Charlie’s Angels in 1971. (Boos, Roberta smiles broadly) ...she’s a young girl. She’s a young girl...it’s your fault.

Sharon: Simon, look at the way you look!

Simon: Okay but I’m...but I’m not being judged! ... I’m not being judged! I’m not being judged Sharon okay. Is this girl a star or is she somebody who should be in a hotel? (Groans)

Sharon: ...you mean your hotel room! ...Just your hotel room that’s all!

Simon: I said she’s gorgeous!

Kate: Louis?

Louis: What show is this man at? Are you not looking at the same girl I’m looking at?

Simon: I said she’s gorgeous Louis.

Louis: Simon! ... Roberta, you are beautiful...I know you go out with a rugby player in Ireland, so you don’t have to stuff your tongue down my neck! ... But I think you could be an amazing star... and you’ve got an amazing mentor with Sharon and I think you’re wonderful.

Roberta: Thank you Louis!

Kate: Sharon? How did Roberta deliver for you tonight?

Sharon: She delivered in every way. I mean she’s... look how special she is, come on. (Screams from The Audience) And excuse me, excuse me...(to Simon)... You just want her in your hotel bedroom! That’s all... (Simon smiles) okay!

Kate: ...And on that note!

Sharon: ...a hotel...a hotel doing what Simon?

Kate: Don’t even ask!

Simon: I was trying, I was trying to make the point that if you go to a holiday resort you will always...listen...

Louis: You’ve upset all the women watching this show tonight now! ...You’ve upset half the population.

Simon: I’m trying to make the point...is that the jury is out at the moment. I’m not saying that she’s bad; I thought she was very good. But I have heard singers like that in hotels, that’s all!

Oh dear, first Louis upset half the population with his comments about Verity, now Simon has upset half the population with his critique of Roberta. It’s a good job it’s the same half, otherwise they’d have no ratings at all!

Still there’s one lady who doesn’t look unduly upset... and that’s Roberta!
