Diana Vickers has come a long way since The X Factor and we can’t believe how sultry she looks in her recent photoshoot for Very catalogue.
The singer follows in the footsteps of Holly Willoughby and Fearne Cotton, who have both featured in ad campaigns for the brand and in these new shots, released today, Vickers looks stunning in a red silk blouse, holding a giant lollipop.
The barefoot-singing girl-next-door from The X Factor is long gone and Diana Vickers is flying the flag for British cool right now.
Diana even has the rock star boyfriend to boot – she’s been dating George Craig, frontman of indie band One Night Only, for the past six months.
Speaking to this week’s more! magazine about the relationship, she said: “He remembers all the important things. Actually, he remembers all the meaningless stuff too! We chatted at a party, then he tried to woo me. He was very persistent for about three months, sending me lovely texts. Then we were at another party, he picked up a guitar, we got talking and that was it.”
