Gabrielle Carrington, 29, allegedly tried to kill Klaudia Zakrzewska, an Instagram influencer, outside the Inca nightclub in Soho, London, at 4.30am on Sunday.
She is accused of dangerous driving, being nearly twice the drink-drive limit, and causing serious injuries to two other people - a third woman and a security guard.
Carrington, who has more than 365,000 followers on Instagram, made it to the X Factor live finals in 2013 as a member of the trio Miss Dynamix.
At Westminster Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, the judge ordered that she be held in prison until the next court hearing at the Old Bailey on 19 May.
Footage of the incident shared online shows a woman getting into a black Mercedes before it drives forward, striking Ms Zakrzewska, who goes under the vehicle.
Outlining the allegations, prosecutor Rizwan Amin told the court: "The scene can only be described as lots of people shouting, it could be described as a melee, so to speak.
"Many individuals who were there were from a nearby nightclub including security staff members.
"The full extent of the incident wasn't appreciated at the time officers had attended.
"Further checks of CCTV show that Ms Carrington had arrived in Argyll Street in her car, which was nearby to the Inca nightclub.
"During this time, she seemed to have an altercation with a male as she exited her car.
"This altercation escalated, involving several other members of the public. Security staff tried to intervene to separate those involved. Ms Carrington was then seen to re-enter the vehicle."

Mr Amin said the vehicle "immediately moved off and sharply mounted the pavement".
He continued: "During this manoeuvre, the vehicle has struck Ms Zakrzewska who was positioned to the front side of the vehicle and she was dragged forwards and dropped between the vehicle and a metal bike rack.
"As the vehicle kept moving forward, it fully took her underneath the vehicle and at the same time had struck a security member of staff, Anoush Chyche, who was on the pavement."
It is said Carrington reversed the car backwards as Ms Zakrzewska emerged from under the vehicle.
"During the manoeuvre, a Ms Latisha Armstrong was also hit by the vehicle and suffered a fractured scaphoid bone in her wrist area," said Mr Amin.
Carrington, of Broadfield Road, Manchester, has been charged with attempted murder, causing grievous bodily harm with intent, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, dangerous driving, and drink driving.
She did not enter any pleas during the court hearing.
Ms Zakrzewska remains in a life-threatening condition in hospital, the Metropolitan Police said on Monday evening.
Mr Chyche, in his 50s, suffered "life-changing injuries", the force added.
According to the court charges, Carrington had 61 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath when she tested after the incident; the legal limit is 35.
Images from the Terrorism Confinement Center, or CECOT, prison in Tecoluca show rows of gang members in the court hearing.
The group is accused of more than 47,000 crimes committed between 2012 and 2022, according to a statement from the El Salvador Attorney General's Office.

A post from the attorney general's office on X says charges against the group also include extortion and that the defendants include those alleged to have been involved in a wave of gang violence in March 2022.
The violence led Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele to declare a state of emergency, which is still in place.
In total, the attorney general's office said that 413 MS-13 members are already in prison, and that another 73 have active arrest warrants.
The international criminal gang was originally formed on the street corners of Los Angeles and only spread when members were deported from the US back to Central America.
US President Donald Trump designated MS-13 as a terrorist organisation last year, and his administration has made deportation agreements with El Salvador to exchange prisoners affiliated with the gang and others.
The agreement, part of the US's crackdown on illegal immigration, made headlines with the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran citizen who was mistakenly deported, detained in CECOT and then returned to the US.

United Nations experts have criticised El Salvador's use of mass trials, introduced in 2023, saying that they "undermine the exercise of the right to defence and the presumption of innocence of detainees".
Elsewhere, Human Rights Watch said in its annual report that El Salvador's mass imprisonment policy had raised the prison population to an estimated 118,000 detainees.
It said this is more than double capacity, "significantly worsening already poor prison conditions", and added that "many detainees have no apparent connections to gang-related violence".
After a demo last month, there will continue to be no VAR in the EFL next season, just goal-line technology in the Championship.
Goal-line technology, which judges if the ball has crossed the goal line, will continue and has been in place in the Championship for a number of years.
VAR (video assistant referee) was introduced in the Premier League in the 2019/20 season to check key moments such as goals, penalties and red cards.
It remains very controversial and many fans say it's made matches less enjoyable.
Players delaying celebrations and standing around while video is checked for a potential foul has become a regular part of matches.
A survey of 8,000 fans last month by the Football Supporters' Association found 75% were against VAR and 90% disagreed it had improved the Premier League match-day experience.
Nonetheless, the game's lawmakers have extended VAR's remit and from this summer competitions will have the option of using it to check corners.
John Ashby, 32, admitted charges of rape, robbery, intentional strangulation and religiously aggravated assault at Birmingham Crown Court on Tuesday.
Ashby, of no fixed abode, asked to see his barrister and changed his pleas around an hour after being sworn at and told to "sort your s*** out" by a member of the public who approached the dock.
The outburst, which the judge described as an "ugly incident", occurred after Ashby began mumbling during the Crown's evidence.
His victim, a Sikh woman who was hit with a stick, had been due to enter the witness box to give evidence against Ashby later on Tuesday.
Opening the case for the Crown on Monday, prosecution KC Phil Bradley said Ashby "targeted" the woman when he saw her on a bus and followed her to her home in Walsall on foot last October.
Adjourning the case for sentence on Friday, Mr Justice Pepperall warned Ashby that he was considering the imposition of a life sentence.

Extracts from "harrowing" body-worn police footage showing the young woman, who was in court to see Ashby change his pleas, had been played to the jury, during which she was comforted by a female officer and said her attacker had called her a "bloody Muslim b****".
The woman told police she had been raped in a bathroom by the intruder, who claimed to be a "British master".
In a video interview played to the trial, the complainant told police: "He had a stick in his hand. I said 'who are you' and I started screaming.
"He switched off the light. He said 'I just want fun with you'. He said 'you are a f****** Muslim b****', I said 'I am not a Muslim, I am a Sikh'."
Prosecutors told the court there could be no doubt that Ashby was the man who attacked the woman, citing DNA evidence, fingerprints found on a vape and the fact he was pointed out by the victim at an identity parade.
CCTV footage also placed Ashby near the scene, where he picked up the two-foot-long piece of wood.
After Ashby's guilty pleas, the judge said: "It seems to me that a stranger who breaks into a woman's house, who commits these offences and does so expressing hostility to her on the basis of her presumed religion is a dangerous person.
"I don't think I need a report to tell me that.
"I will be considering very carefully whether a life sentence is the right sentence in this case."
Addressing Ashby directly, he said: "As I have already made clear, it seems to me that somebody who commits offences in these circumstances is a dangerous individual.
"The court must have in its mind whether or not a life sentence is the appropriate sentence."
Mr Justice Pepperall praised the victim for her "great bravery" in coming into court, accompanied by her partner, to see Ashby admit his guilt.
Commenting on the inquiry, Rav Dhillon of the Crown Prosecution Service said: "This was a deeply disturbing attack driven by religious hatred, carried out against an innocent woman in her own home, where she would expect to feel safest.
"The CPS worked closely together with West Midlands Police to build a robust case which included CCTV footage, DNA evidence and witness testimony, and the strength of that evidence left the defendant no choice but to plead guilty.
"Our thoughts are with the victim, and we hope this outcome brings her some measure of justice."
Weinstein, 74, was once one of the most powerful people in the industry, producing films such as the Oscar-winning Shakespeare In Love, Pulp Fiction, and The Crying Game.
Since becoming a focus of the #MeToo movement against sexual misconduct nearly a decade ago, he has been convicted of some sexual assault charges and acquitted of others in trials on two US coasts.
The retrial that began on Tuesday concerns a rape charge over a 2013 encounter in a Manhattan hotel. It has already been the subject of an overturned conviction, followed by a jury deadlock.
The disgraced filmmaker has again pleaded not guilty and denied assaulting anyone or having non-consensual sex.
Prosecutor Candace White began the new trial telling jurors that Weinstein raped aspiring actress Jessica Mann in the hotel room while she resisted and repeatedly said "No".
"This case will come down to power, to control and to manipulation," Ms White said, accusing Weinstein of preying upon "fragile and sheltered" young women who dream of becoming Hollywood stars.
Jacob Kaplan, defending, accused Ms Mann of making up the rape allegation after regretting that her relationship with Weinstein failed to advance her acting career.
He told the jury in his opening statement that emails would show Ms Mann's romance with Epstein was consensual, adding: "In the end, this case will be her word against her word."
Ms White said that Weinstein "was used to getting his way".
"He did what he wanted, when he wanted and with whom he wanted," she added. "Behind closed doors, power meant him taking what he wanted from the victim in this case."
Weinstein shook his head slightly at one point as the prosecutor claimed he "silenced" Ms Mann by letting her know that crossing him could be professional quicksand.
His defence emphasised that after the alleged rape Ms Mann kept seeing Weinstein, accepting invitations, asking him for career help and sending warm messages to him.
Weinstein was convicted of raping Ms Mann in 2013 and assaulting onetime production assistant Miriam Haley in 2006, but New York's highest court overturned the conviction and Weinstein's 23-year prison sentence after ruling he didn't get a fair trial.
In June 2025, a jury then convicted Weinstein of sexually abusing Ms Haley, but found him not guilty of assaulting former model Kaja Sokola.
That jury was unable to reach a verdict on the third-degree rape charge relating to Ms Mann, leading to the judge declaring a mistrial on that count.
The latest trial, before Justice Curtis Farber, is expected to last about a month.
Weinstein will face a prison sentence of up to 25 years when he is sentenced for abusing Ms Haley.

Weinstein is also serving a 16-year prison sentence after being convicted of rape in California in 2022. He is appealing that conviction and sentence.
Weinstein's lawyers say his health has deteriorated rapidly while he has been imprisoned in New York's notorious Rikers Island jail.
