Pictures: From Doncaster Rovers cheerleader to Eurovision Song Contest hopeful - meet town singing star Raya
Rachel, 27, from Barnby Dun, is one of of six musical hopefuls hoping to represent the United Kingdom at this year's all-singing, all-dancing television spectacular - and its all a far cry from her early days.
And perfoming has always been in Rachel's blood.
She first stepped into the limelight during her time at Hungerhill, taking part in school productions and later becoming one of The Vikettes, the now disbanded Doncaster Rovers' cheerleading troupe.
Here's hoping we'll be the ones cheering Rachel onto victory next week!
