She first captured the public’s imagination in 2009 when she competed on the sixth series of The X Factor, where her warm personality and distinctive voice carried her to a third-place finish. That appearance served as a springboard to reality stardom, and just a year later, she triumphed in the tenth series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, winning the crown and solidifying her status as a household name. Her effortless charm and relatable down-to-earth nature made her an instant favorite among viewers, setting the stage for a multifaceted career that would span music, television, and presenting.
Following her reality television success, Solomon explored her musical ambitions.

She continued to pursue music and released her debut studio album, Shy, in 2015, demonstrating a range that extended beyond her initial competition appearances. While her music career was a significant part of her early professional life, it was her presence on television that would ultimately define her career trajectory.
