With Hear'Say she was part of the first ever TV talent show that influenced X Factor.

Now Kym Marsh is showing her daughter the ropes and introducing her to all the right people.

Popstars winner Kym took Emily to meet the remaining X Factor hopefuls on Sunday's results show.

Emily, 14, looked like a pop star in the making as she wore a short midnight blue dress and ankle boots.

She accessorised with a pair of trendy thick rimmed glasses and showed just how much she had grown up.

Mother-of-three Kym defied her age and looked great in a black lace Reiss dress and tweeted earlier in the night about her excitement at going to the live show and appearing on the ITV2 spin-off Xtra Factor.

After meeting show favourite Marcus Collins she tweeted: '@MarcuscollinsUK babes! So so good to meet you tonight! You are amazeballs!!! I'm team Marcus now all the way! love ya kiddo xxx.'

After watching the show Emily continued to network and was spotted talking to Louis Walsh.

The Irish judge, who has no acts left in the competition, was seen posing for pictures with the mother and daughter before he jumped in a cab home.

Emily, who was four years old when her mother won Popstars in 2001, didn't get to meet Rihanna, who had performed her new single We Found Love, because the Bajan star reportedly left straight away.
