X Factor singer Stacey Solomon has admitted that nerves play havoc with her bowels before she performs each Saturday night.

In an interview with new! magazine Stacey said:

If I’m honest, I just get a bellyache and I want to poo! Before I go on, I’m like, “Oh no, that’s it. I want a poo!” But you can’t do anything and you hold it in and then you walk on and you’re like, “Ah, phew!” and the poo feeling goes and it’s fun.

Stacey also revealed that she is terrified every Sunday night in case she ends up in the bottom two acts. She said:

Oh my gosh, waiting for your name is the worst. When it’s not yours, you’re like, “Oh no, it’s not me.” Then it gets closer and you think, “I’m going to be in the bottom two.” And that’s the scariest thing. You’re like, “I don’t want to sing for survival.”
