The X Factor’s Tracy Leanne Jefford looks unrecognisable as she shows off her natural look
She's gearing up for her first performance
Last updated 26th Oct 2017
With the first live shows of The X Factor set to hit our TV screens this weekend, the contestants have moved into a luxury house in London and are settling in ahead of the big day.
And despite being each other's competition, it seems they are getting along very nicely, with many taking to their social media accounts to show off their new friendships.
But it was Rak-Su member Myles' Instagram video of Tracy Leanne Jefford that really left fans of the show in shock at her appearance.
Tracy Leanne has become known for her heavy makeup and dark lip liner look throughout her time on the show, but she looks completely unrecognisable in the new video.
Showing off her natural beauty, Tracy Leanne looks amazing as she messes around with Myles in the video. Alongside the video, Myles wrote, 'The queen of the house! Truly amazing'.
In the video Myles says, "Here she is, the queen herself. Good morning.", with Tracy jokingly adding, "Good morning baby."
Tracy Leanne made it through to the live shows after impressing Nicole Scherzinger and Stormzy during last weekend's Judges' Houses stage.
This isn't the first time she's been on The X Factor. Tracy Leanne appeared on the popular talent show way back in 2006, where she made it through to the Boot Camp stage of the competition.
When she returned for a second shot this year, Tracy Leanne performed Amy Winehouse’s 'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow' and blew the judges away with her performance.
Check out her audition below:
16 contestants will battle it out this week in the first live show of the series. Despite only 12 contestants originally making it through, after Sunday night's show, Dermot O'Leary announced one act from each category will be brought back as a wildcard, with viewers given the chance to vote for their favourites.

With a huge number of contestants, earlier this week a big twist for the show was revealed, which is very harsh.
According to new reports, five contestants will be sent home in the first TWO weeks!
A TV insider told a national newspaper, "With 16 contestants and only six weeks of live shows to get through, the eliminations are going to be coming thick and fast."
They added, "Producers are still finalising the plans, even with the first live show just days away. But this is shaping up to be one of the most brutal series.
This weekend sees the start of the live X Factor shows, Saturday at 8.20pm and continuing Sunday at 7pm on ITV.
