However, it wasn’t the only memorable moment of the night. In a plot twist, as reported by Metro UK, a contestant, Dina Koutsouflakis, who goes by the stage name Storry— appeared on the show. In her performance, she sang to an original mash-up, which compelled all four coaching panels, including Jones, Rimes, Will.i.am, and the duo coaches Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones, to press the buzzer. Later, she recalled on stage, that once she was open for Sir Tom but never met him. 



 

While deciding who to choose as her coach, Storry emotionally revealed her history, “It’s a dream to meet you, by the way, Tom, because in August, I opened for you, and I didn’t get to meet you. I’m so happy that you turned. I was like, ‘Please let Tom turn." she shared. She also recalled, "You pulled up in your car, all smooth, but I get it. You know it was a cold night, that night." Per the aforementioned outlet, moved by her story, Sir Jones told Koutsouflakis that he was glad to finally hear her sing. He added, "I’m sorry that I missed you when we worked together." Storry eventually selected Will.i.am while Sir Jones jokingly said that she was still "ticked off" about their past.
