Raquelle Gracie, member of X factor girl group, Hope, has spoken to The Manchester Evening News to warn X Factor viewers that this weeks show will be even raunchier than last.

“This week is probably even more raunchy than last. Perhaps they should call it The XXX Factor.” Raquelle told the newspaper.

The girls appeared on last week’s opening show, barely dressed at all, and Raquelle says that her family and friends handled the state of undress rather well.

“My dad said afterwards, `I’m very proud of you and I understand about your outfit. I’m not mad with you’. And I said, `I’m really sorry’,” she explains.

“My boyfriend was OK about it – OK as a boyfriend can be about his girlfriend being half naked on stage. He just said, `I thought you looked gorgeous and sang very well’.

“It was an incredible experience, going on stage with millions watching and the audience cheering. We know what to expect now, but the nerves are still going to be there this week.

“No matter how many times you watch it, nothing can prepare you for waiting behind those doors. It was really scary.”
