Anastacia made her big X Factor debut yesterday and it seems she has made a new friend as a result.

The ‘I’m Outta Love’ singer joined Gary Barlow, Louis Walsh and Tulisa Contostavlos when auditions for the ITV show hit Glasgow on Monday morning and instead of the usual female rivalry that we see on the show, she became rather fond of her new gal pal.

Last night, as the tryouts concluded, The US singer tweeted:

“I became a bigger fan of @officialtulisa being on the judging panel 2day. She is all reals!!! luv that stand yr ground U beautiful lady.”

Anastacia looked stunning at the Scottish auditions and revealed that she had even shared a stylist with Tulisa for the day. She wore a figure hugging purple dress, while the N-Dubz star went for some traditional tartan.

Gary took to Twitter after the evening ended and revealed that he had enjoyed the Glaswegian enthusiasm shown by the crowd, writing:

‘#XFactor auditions in Glasgow completed.Great talent,great audience,flying home now’

It was reported that there was at least one familiar face at the tryouts, with Jade Richards – who made it as far as Kelly Rowland’s judges houses stage last year – returning to impress the panel once more. You can read more about her audition here.

Belfast born singer Jade Collins also impressed the crowd and now hopes to follow in the footsteps of Janet Devlin for the live shows.
