X Factor judge Simon Cowell has tipped 20 year old mum Stacey Solomon as being one of this year’s final acts.

Speaking at a charity dinner on Monday night, Cowell told the Jewish Chronicle: “I like Stacey. She’s a sweetheart. She’s a nice girl with a good voice and she’s getting better. She’s going to be in the final. She’s my favourite act after my own acts.”

He then told The Jewish News: “I like this girl. She’s got a great personality, her voice is getting better and she’s the only girl left. Being the only girl she’s going to get a lot of votes.”
