Friends of X Factor hopeful Nicolo Festa say that the Italian is “even more of a diva” in real life.
The 21 year old singer was featured on Saturday night’s show, performing A Song For You for Cheryl Cole, Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh. Before he even started, the cocky lad told cameras:
It’s time to shake things up a little bit. What I think truly is that I’m amazing. Today I’m going to show the judges how big my X factor is.
His self assured style paid off and Cheryl Cole raved:
There’s something really charming about you and I don’t know why. I don’t know if it’s the Italian accent or the fact that you’re called Nicolo. I enjoyed your vocal, very diva-ish.
Nicolo’s pals have now warned Cheryl and Co that he was on his best behaviour for...

17 year old Tegan says her mum tells her often that she sang when she was a baby, but it was from the age of six, when she joined the school choir that her real passion for singing began to develop. She played an orphan in a Norfolk Youth Music Theatre production of Annie when she was eight, and played Annie Cooper in a production of The Ragged Child the following year – and she hasn’t stopped since! She has a distinction at Grade 8 in Musical Theatre singing.
Tegan says she would be a totally unique Dorothy – totally Tegan-esque! The signature song “Over The Rainbow” means a lot to Tegan, as she sang it at her audition for her drama school, and she says that was the point at which she really started to feel that this was what she was good at.
She says she would bring freshness, youth, empathy and cheekiness to Dorothy.
