Ruth Lorenzo is about to release her debut single in Spain.
The 27 year old singer came fifth in the fifth series of The X Factor in 2008 and ‘Burn’ from her debut album ‘The Raspberry Pattern’ is available to download from Spanish iTunes from today.
Although Ruth did sign a deal with record label EMI on leaving the ITV show, she left them after a year and is now striking out on her own.
She previously told Unreality TV:
With images of unbeknown, fresh-faced, pop star wannabes gracing the tabloid front pages and a new wave of Cheryl mania, it can only mean one thing: X Factor 2010 is well underway. Whether you are tuning in to admire Cheryl’s LBD, lust over Danni’s new do or simply to watch Simon and Louie attack one another’s acts there is no denying that this year’s X Factor will be keeping many of us glued to our tele over the forthcoming Saturday nights.
Not to be forgotten from past years gone by, we thought it only fitting to revisit some of the acts who made the winters of 2005 – 2008 that bit more bearable. Love them or hate them, there will be a few surprises (and sniggers) when you find out just with what this bunch have been up to….
Ruth Lorenzo - X Factor 2008
After coming fifth in 2008’s X Factor and touring the UK & Ireland, Ruth Lorenzo is now pursing her musical career as an independent artist. She has been combining the preparation of her own album with writing for other artists. As seen on ITV series ‘Dannii: Style Queen’, Ruth has been heavily involved in the creative process of Dannii Minogue’s upcoming album, due next year, and continues to write songs for her former mentor.

Former X Factor star Ruth Lorenzo has been singing the praises of her former mentor Dannii Minogue.
The Spanish singer has been working with Minogue on her new studio album and will even appear on her ITV2 show ‘Dannii Minogue:Style Queen.’
Speaking to Star magazine, Ruth revealed that she is having a ball helping to write songs for Dannii’s new record. The whole process has brought the pair even closer, so that Ruth now describes the Australian star as ‘like a sister to me.’

Dannii Minogue has hit the recording studio again and the star has teamed up with singer songwriter Ruth Lorenzo for her latest album.
The X Factor judge mentored the Spanish singer on the 2008 series of the hit show and cameras from her ITV2 fly on the wall documentary, captured the pair recording one of Ruth’s songs ‘Cos Your Beautiful’, which Dannii has fallen in love with.
Rachel Hylton- X factor 2008
Former X Factor contestant Rachel Hylton has reportedly claimed that Dannii Minogue neglected her on last year’s series of the show.
The singer, who we distinctly remember as having a huge chip on her shoulder, claimed that Dannii was more interested in Ruth Lorenzo than her. Surely that can’t have been because Ruth was more talented…..

I always knew she was a feisty lady but no way would I have predicted that Ruth Lorenzo would turn her back on Simon Cowell to sign a record deal with his biggest rival.
Ruth has reportedly signed a £1 million deal with EMI/Virgin and a source told The Sun that she was blabbing the news at the launch of Jean-Christophe Novelli’s Costa del Sol restaurant at the weekend.
A guest at the bash said: “Ruth was a bit giddy with the free champagne and was telling everyone Simon was gutted she signed elsewhere. She said she wanted to sign with him because they got along so well during the X Factor. She said she would have loved to work with him.
Ruth Lorenzo - X Factor 2008
X Factor divas Ruth Lorenzo and Alexandra Burke are said to have had a massive row on the UK wide tour over the affections of a background dancer.
Ruth is reported to have accused Alex of pulling a dancer that she had her eye on, but I wonder if she’s just plain jealous of Alexandra’s success.
A source told The Sun: “Ruth claims they fell out because she pulled a dancer Alex had her eye on. She reckons Alex bullied her but the old green-eyed monster has been creeping in.

Despite being very vocal about their plans to become room-mates, Ruth Lorenzo has admitted that she and Alexandra Burke will not be sharing a flat any time soon.
The former X Factor contestants struck up a close friendship on last years series and planned to share a flat in London after the show. However with Alex committed to spending lots of time in America it seems that Ruth is going to have to find a new pal to share with.
“No, no, we are not sharing a flat. It’s not true. It was just a rumour,” Ruth told the Daily Record. “We’ve been so busy, the both of us. I want to move out of Surrey after the X Factor tour, but Alexandra is going to New York and Los Angeles to record.
JLS - X Factor 2008
JLS’ singer Oritse Williams has moved in with his fellow X Factor singers, Alexandra Burke and Ruth Lorenzo.
Oritse has been having family problems which have prevented him from returning home, so his old XF plas have stepped in to help him out.
“Oritse has spent the past few months living with the rest of the finalists,” a source told The Sun.
