Laura White - X factor 2008

We reported earlier in the week that X Factor finalist, Laura White, broke down in tears at a press conference due to homesickness, and now an X Factor source has confirmed that Laura has been feeling a bit low this week.

The problem is that 21 year old has never lived away from home and is finding being away from the family, coupled with the pressure of the first live show, all a bit too much to bare.

Thankfully, mentor Cheryl has been on hand to offer some words of advice and support and Laura is now feeling much happier and is looking forward to performing on Saturday night.
