The teaching assistant competed against the other two top finalists, Bernadette, who received a score of 23 for her performance of Beyoncé’s Halo, and Southern Flavour, who scored 68 with James Bay’s Hold Back The River.
To make her win all the sweeter, Shellyann competed on The Voice back in 2015, but didn’t make it past the knockout stages.
‘I wasn’t sure whether or not to go for a talent show again really after The Voice, so I was nervous and apprehensive,’ she recalled.
‘From the moment I stepped foot in the hotel [for All Together Now] it was just different. Everyone was friendly, there wasn’t any pressure. You can do whatever you want to.’
Meanwhile, the former Spice Girl has been notoriously difficult to win over during the course of the series.
However, she’s insisted that honesty is the best policy.
‘I do feel it’s about being honest, caring to be honest – that’s more loving than saying something nice just so they like me back,’ Geri told Metro.co.uk.
‘I think that I’m going to say something that might sound firm, but fair. That’s more important than whether someone likes me back. And they might think that I’m not such a big star after that.
‘I just think as a respect to the show and to all the other contestants, I don’t think it’s fair if I just say nice things just so people like me.’
