Ife (pronounced Iffy) has already had a taste of fame as one of Cheryl Cole’s backing dancers but says she doesn’t know the star “very well”. A backing vocalist on The X Factor, she now dreams of singing stardom.
Ife is deeply religious and prays every day. She believes in the power of positive thinking.

“You get out of life what you put into it,” she says.

She lives with her fiance and her adoptive parents, and says the most significant event of her life was meeting her real mum, whom she bears no resentment towards, and seeing the resemblance between them in looks, mannerisms and behaviour.

The self-confessed clean freak – who’s also an insomniac and sleep talker – can’t stand things being dirty and is very particular about how her clothes are folded. She’s also a perfectionist when it comes to her image and once stayed indoors for ten days because she couldn’t draw her eyebrows on correctly.
