LAURA White wowed hundreds of fans at her first public performance in Bolton since leaving the X Factor.
The talented singer was controversially booted off the competition last week.
She performed her home coming gig at The Carphone Warehouse at the Market Place in Bolton town centre.
The star was delighted to be back in her home town and told fans that leaving the X Factor is not the end of her singing career.
She said: “It is amazing to be back and next year I am expecting big things.
“Thank you to everyone who voted for me and believes in my talent.”
Laura, aged 21, was mentioned in the House of Commons earlier this week when Andy Burnham said she was “harshly” voted off the show.
Fans also set up a petition, which has been signed by 50,000 people, to get her reinstated.
