X Factor - Rachel Hylton's shock at new look
Thursday, 9 October 2008
The X Factor finalists have only one day to go before they appear live on stage, watched by millions of people from across the UK.
Simon, Cheryl, Louis and Dannii have sent all 12 acts to get a makeover to turn them into stars.
Rachel Hylton revealed all to the official X Factor website: "I really enjoyed the photo shoot and I loved being pampered and looked after. When would I ever be able to do all of this?
"I felt a bit self conscious when my make-up was finished but after while I got used to being in front of the camera and enjoyed myself"!
"I hear people have been saying nice things about me...so I'd like to say thanks to everyone who's been giving me compliments, that's great!"
Rachel isn't the only one to have been shocked by her new look.
Girlband's Layla has had her hair coloured a deep red and favourite to win Alexandra Burke has had hair extensions put in to make her look more sophisticated.
