0:00:10 > 0:00:14- My frock was too long, - so I couldn't walk in it.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18- My shoes kept getting stuck - in the hem of the frock...
0:00:18 > 0:00:22- ..so I couldn't wear the shoes - that I wanted to wear.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26- The frock that I was going to wear - to be interviewed...
0:00:27 > 0:00:30- ..had something wrong with it.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33- I had to wear - what I wore for the rehearsal.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59- The day hadn't started well.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02- I felt it was pointless - me being here.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07- Then a woman came in with an - envelope, asking for Sara Manchipp.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10- I just thought, - what have I done now?
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- Before I could ask - who gave it to her, she had gone.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- I opened the envelope...
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- ..and in it was a lucky charm - saying, "This will bring you luck".
0:01:22 > 0:01:23- I gave Mam a ring...
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- ..to thank her - for giving me the lucky charm.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- It really lifted my spirits.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- She said, "What are you on about? - We're on the M4, on the way there."
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Maybe it was Mam-gu - or my boyfriend or my friend...
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- ..but they were all - in cars behind my parents.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- I pinned the lucky charm - on my frock...
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- ..and it was there - when I went on stage to compete.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- Whenever I came back to change, - I made sure I had it with me.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- I was convinced - it would bring me luck.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- The really odd thing was, - in the final round...

0:02:02 > 0:02:08- ..I came off stage and heard - something fall out of the dress.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- I quickly realized - that it was the lucky charm.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- In that moment, I thought - it was the lucky charm's way...
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- ..of telling me, "I've done my job."
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- "I've done what I came here to do."
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- When they called my name out - as the winner...

0:02:30 > 0:02:32- I was thinking, oh my gosh!
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- Was it the lucky charm that did it?
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- I don't know to this day - who gave me the lucky charm.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- I don't have a clue...
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- ..but I'd like to thank - whoever it was...
