After the final, Ho told the media that she did not yet have her driver’s license but would take the test “right away”.

However, she admitted to 8days that she wasn’t so sure she would succeed. “I have to raise my hands and (make the L sign) to tell left from right, so I’m not sure I can pass the driving test.”

The live show saw the Top 12 finalists compete in four segments, including the X-Factor showcase, body expression, spontaneous speaking and acting.

The contestants performed against a panel of Mediacorp artists, including Desmond Tan, Richie Koh, Kym Ng, Carrie Wong and Hong Ling, reprising their iconic roles, drawing cheers and laughter from the audience.

Ho’s stage presence and charisma convinced the judges to win the title of Grand Champion.

The evening’s exciting showdowns were presided over by a panel of notable names such as regional for best actor Christopher Leeaward-winning Asian TV actor-singer Raymond Lam and famous Hong Kong actress-producer Sandra Ng.
