In an interview, presenter Dermot O'Leary said that Janice's appearance was "one of those great arena moments" on the show.
"I am a fan of the room auditions because I like to see the progression from the room to the arena to judge’s houses," he said. "But you can’t deny the impact when a good audition hits home with a live audience and that's why Simon wanted to go back into the arenas."
Check out a sneak peek of her performance below, and see the full audition on Saturday 1st September's show.
