A MUM has become an online sensation after posting a seriously impressive clip of herself belting out a Beyonce classic - while sat on the couch with her toddler.
Talented Kerrie Ann Lomas’ powerful rendition of Listen has now been viewed nearly a million times.
In the video, mum-of-two Kerrie is belting out the hit even though she's sitting down.
Kerrie’s mum then posted the stunning footage on Facebook.
The self-confessed "normal mum from a council estate" was soon inundated with messages praising her "down to earth" performance.
Now, between nappy changes and bottle feeds, Kerrie performs requests from other mums on Facebook – all from her front room.
Other sofa-sung hits include Falling by Alicia Keys, Love Yourself by Justin Beiber and Because You Loved Me by Celine Dion.
Kerrie’s amazing performances are carried out while trying to entertain the kids - often with TV show In the Night Garden in the background.
Kerrie has always loved singing but put her dreams of stardom on the backburner to bring up her children Kiana, three, and Kendal, ten months.
Kerrie from Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside, said: "I'm absolutely shocked at the response. I just love to sing like anyone else.
''I just do it with a toddler around one ankle, trying to change a nappy, while making up a bottle, trying to be a wife and get dinner on the table.
"It's just a hobby at the moment. The messages I have got back from people is they just like it because I'm a normal mum.
"You don't have to be plastered with make-up and dressed to the nines. I love my kids and I'm just sat at home, in my normal clothes, doing what any normal person does
"I'm just a normal down to earth mum from a council estate."
Kerrie's love of singing came from her grandparents Basil and Ann Stanton, who loved country music.
Her grandmother - who she calls 'Mother' - would sing along, before she got Parkinson's disease.
The first time Kerrie performed in public was as Sandy in Grease in her early teens, and she also won the Pontins National Karaoke Championships back in 2005.
When she was 16 and 20, Kerrie auditioned for X Factor, but put her signing on a backburner when she got married to husband Kieron, a scaffolder, and had their kids.
She said: "I'd sing when he did karaoke at home with a cuppa, but my mum said, 'I'm not having this,' and she did the video and put in on Facebook."
Kerrie's rendition of Listen got a whopping 850,000 views in a matter of days after it was posted and the 26-year-old has now set up a dedicated singing .
Last week, she performed her first gig with the help of X Factor contestant and fellow songstress Kiera Weathers, at Clock Face Labour Club.
Kerrie added: "As long as I can show my kids that with all the terrible things going on in the world, if you enjoy doing something, you should just keep doing it, I'll keep singing.
"If I could have a singing career and still keep my kids and my private life, I'd do it."
