According to reports, Kitty had hoped to represent the United Kingdom but stated that she had not been allowed by the BBC.
“Because I was on the X Factor, the BBC won’t entertain the idea of having me. They’ve said, not officially, but unofficially, ‘No, you were on the X Factor’.
“I think it’s a conflict of interests with The Voice, so I’ve heard. I’ve asked a lot of people,” she added.
