The 26 year-old mum of five overcame a turbulent past to audition for this year's show in her hometown of London. Viewers saw her make a real impression on the judges when she was featured on Saturday's show.
And her determination to succeed has seen fight against family opinion as she battled to claim her chance to impress.
Said Rachel; "I've had some family who don’t agree with me doing this, who think if my past comes out it's going to be embarrassing for them to handle. I have had to deal with a lot".
"I am embarrassed about my past. But I don't see why I should be living in fear. I've got to go for it, and do something. And - droning on and on - singing is my life. I thought, '**** it'.
"And I just went for it. And here I am today, and I'm glad I did."
Rachel, now on her way to bootcamp and one step closer to making her dreams come true, said: "I want to go all the way, I do".
"Even my nearest and dearest at times have said 'Don't do it'. This is so cliché, but I say, 'Don't give up on your dreams'".
"And if I get rich, I can buy a hotel. And I'll say 'Come to the Hylton Hotel with a Y not an I. It's true!"
