She beat more than 2,000 applicants in 2014 to make it into the filmed heats at the Wallace Collection in London.

Sally, 27, had the chance to paint Daniel Roche – who plays Ben in BBC sitcom Outnumbered. And she made it through to the semi-finals.

Sally said: “It was a great positive experience for me at the time that lead on to me opening my working studio in Penwortham.

“I lead creative workshops for adults and children I also created commissioned portraits for people who had seen my work on the show.”

The artists have just four hours to create a finished piece of work that’s judged by Tai-Shan Shierenberg, Katie Bryan and Kathlee Soriano – all curators and aclaimed artists.

The show is on Sky Arts on Tuesday 7 February from 8pm.
