Loyal Britain’s Got Talent fans will remember the blonde bombshell from when she appeared on the ITV show at the age of just 11-years-old back in 2012.
The TV star when on to blow judges away with her impressive vocal skills as she confidently performed the complex classical song Ava Maria.

But she didn’t let that knock her confidence as the songstress now stars in CBBC’s sci-fi drama Nova Jones where she plays the role of an eighteen-year-old intergalactic pop star who performs in space.
The singer-turned actor took on the famous role back in September 2021, with a slew of her own original music to accompany her new character.
Speaking at the time, Molly gushed: “Nova Jones is definitely a loveable diva, and playing her is a dream come true!
