Diana Vickers - X Factor 2008

The X Factor’s Laura White has denied rumours that she’s fallen out with fellow contestant Diana Vickers over the voting results.

The Daily Star claimed last week that the results of the first four live shows had been leaked to the contestants in advance and suggested that it had created tension between Diana and the other female singers.

However, Laura has insisted that the article was “not true at all” and has denied any animosity towards Diana.

“Diana was my best friend from the start and we shared a room in the X Factor house, so it would have been a bit difficult if we hadn’t got on” she said.

Diana was granted “a free pass” to the next live round as she’s suffering from severe laryngitis, but Laura, who was of course voted off, says she bears no grudge about it.

“Diana was a very ill girl and if she’d have sung her voice would have gone. I don’t feel any anger at all and what happened couldn’t have been helped” she said.
