The Barking pupil performed a half-an-hour set including the Adele hit and one of her favourite songs Ave Maria in Central Park.

In an interview with the Post, Molly, 11, revealed she may move this autumn to the Sylvia Young Theatre School in central London, which has been attended by All Saints star Natalie Appleton, Billie Piper and Amy Winehouse.

The Manor Junior pupil added she had started to write songs and was learning to play the piano.

Her mum Sarah, 40, confirmed they were in talks with Sony to sign a record deal, amid media reports a debut album could hit the shelves before Christmas.

Molly said: “I’d like to be as big as Beyonce. She’s one of my idols.

“I feel my voice ranges are expanding. I can go down lower now.

“I’ve have started to learn the piano. Maybe I’d like to go into song-writing.

“When I was little I used to have a bit of stage fright but doing shows has helped me to spike my confidence.”
