X Factor - Introducing Diana Vickers

Monday, 6 October 2008

17-year-old Diana Vickers has been given the opportunity of a life time by Cheryl Cole.

Diana wasn't one of the favourites to make it through to the X Factor live shows but Cheryl thinks she has something special.

She told Diana: "I think you are fantastic. You are one of the best, vocally, here. But as much as I love you, and get you, I don't know if the public would get the croakiness. Even so, you're one of the three.

Cheryl added: "I love you! I really believe in you, Diana, I really do."

Diana's story

Diana is a student from Lancashire and has been singing since she was eleven.

She's had singing lessons but have never sung on the pubs and clubs circuit.

Diana is currently studying for her A-Levels in Theatre Studies, Classics, and Psychology and wants to go to Drama School to study Musical Theatre.

She is passionate about singing and hopes her quirky voice will
appeal to X Factor fans.
