"We were extremely nervous as any parent would be," Liza and Richard said.
"Romy had never done anything like this before. She sourced the (application) forms herself, ensured that we would be available to do the audition, collated her submission and the rest is history.

"Romy would have been very upset and disillusioned with us if we had stood in her way. Children who enjoy this process are driven by their passion and whilst we want to protect her we also didn't want to stand in the way of her pursuing her passion.
"Each situation has to be judged on its merits and we believed Romy would deal with the outcome. She has always been an intelligent, strong-willed but grounded, resilient child.

"We are very proud of her for making it through the audition process — 8000 (kids) down to 98 (who competed in the Blind Audition rounds).
"We discussed with her the possible outcomes and she felt comfortable that it was worth the possible risks. We were nervous for her but excited at the same time."
