"I want Joseph to win and I'm not just saying that because he was the closest to me in the house."

Speaking about her exit from the show, she said: "I went out on a high because I thought I gave a really good performance on Sunday night."

Referring to Lloyd Daniels, who was also in the bottom two on Sunday night, she said: "It's not nice being ill. It wasn't a sympathy vote."

"It wasn't his fault. He was ill from Saturday. I don't blame him."

The singer also paid tribute to Irish twins John and Edward Grimes, saying: "Seriously, they are great boys."

"No-one can say that they can't sing and they can't dance because they are doing this every Saturday. They actually want to be popstars."

"They should just go for it and never give up," she said.
