X Factor sensation Natalie Kassanga has urged Northampton College students to work hard, stay dedicated and keep believing' if they want to follow in her footsteps and earn their spell in the spotlight.


The 18-year-old, who received a triple distinction for her Musical Theatre studies at Northampton College's Booth Lane campus only last month, wowed the judges on the ITV talent show as part of girl band Alien.

The group's high energy cover of the Black Eyed Peas hit Pump It' had all four judges up on their feet and host Olly Murs described the six-strong band as out of this world'. The girls received a unanimous 'Yes' from the panel, as they rocketed through to boot camp.
