She shot to fame after her memorable X Factor audition in 2008

Her cause of death is not yet known.

Ariel, who real name is Amy, had one of the hit ITV show’s most memorable auditions, ripping off her number.

During her memorable appearance 11 years ago, she told Simon Cowell, Dannii Minogue Cheryly Tweedy and Louis Walsh she was a “holistic vocal coach”.

She clashed with Cheryl, branding her “stupid” and insisted to the judges she was “a human being, not a number”.

But the Love Made Me Do It singer told Ariel she was "scary" and "by the way you walked over to me I thought we were gonna have a scrap".

Ariel, who was 26 at the time, then told the judges to “shove a bit of metal right up their a**”, as she was escorted out of the studio by a burly security guard.

'ARIEL DEAD'

She changed her name to Arabella Starchild after her audition.
A pal of Ariel's posted on Facebook: "It is with great sadness that I post this, as I have only just found out myself.

"A some time member of the moot, Amy Burdett aka Arabella Starchild passed to the Summerlands earlier this month."

Tributes poured in from wellwishers and fans on Twitter.

One person tweeted: "RIP Ariel Burdett, the iconic Holistic Vocal Coach who provided one of the most legendary moments on TV.

"She was a generalist, not specialist, she was a human being, not a number.

"Her voice did many things and she will be dearly missed."

Another posted: "Ariel Burdett is dead omg. Despite not getting through and whatnot, she was talked about more than most contestants and will forever be an x factor legend! RIP
