"You have no idea how much this means to me, to us. I don't think we've ever expected for this to have such an impact. I'm just so so grateful that such a negative experience in my life turned into such a positive one, and that's all thanks to you guys.

"Thank you so much."

The documentary special aired on BBC last year and followed the star in her attempt to overcome the traumatic bullying she received on social media since appearing on the hit ITV show X Factor.
