A YOUNG woman who became a Facebook star after her mum videoed her singing along to Beyonce’s Listen is amazed at the response.

The video shows mum-of-two Kerrie Ann Lomas belting out the tune while sat on a sofa at her mum’s house, while her three-year-old daughter climbs all over her, has gone viral.

It has been viewed 850,000 times on Facebook and more than 13,000 people have shared the post.

The 26-year-old former Sutton Academy pupil, who has since done her first gig at Clock Face Labour Club with the help of fellow songstress Kiera Weathers, said: “I was absolutely amazed by the response I got. My mum posted the video and so many people just started sharing it.

“I have always loved singing and won some competitions when I was younger, but it took a back burner as I worked, got married and had my two girls.

“So many people messaged me telling me they were amazed with how real I am that I started a page dedicated to my singing and since then I have had thousands of people like it.

"One girl messaged me saying that I’ve encouraged her to forget her bullies and follow her love of singing because I’m just real and singing with my kids and with a brew, and really lovely to hear that.”

Kerrie, who got knocked back from the X Factor when she was 16 and 20, said she does not think she would go back on the show, but following a gig on Sunday March 6 at Clock Face Labour Club, would like to gig some more.

She said: “Kiera messaged me and set up a gig but I was worried how people would react so I was made up at such a positive response and she was lovely, even sorted the equipment.

“Maybe I should get back into it because I want to make my kids proud and show them that it doesn’t matter who you are, where you’re from or if you’re a little big, people will appreciate your voice.”

“I don’t have any equipment and I wouldn’t know where to start but I got into singing because of my nan and granddad and I love it, I’m even taking requests.”

Kerrie, of Newton-le-Willows, has more than 12 videos on her dedicated Facebook page.
