IT’S been a pleasure to interview all three of the north west X Factor finalists ahead of tonight’s first live show.
Last, but not least, this week was Diana Vickers.
She told me she is having dreams about appearing on stage in front of the judges.
Diana also vowed not to change her style, despite her X Factor makeover pictured on this page.

And check out my interviews with Laura White and Scott Bruton.
Quirky Diana, 17, also spoke about her reaction to a tabloid story last weekend which used photos of her on a night out.
It claimed she was a “wild child” who “loves boozy nights out” – but it looked to me like a story created to fit the pictures.

“Obviously I saw them and I got a bit upset and worked up because it’s just something blown out of proportion,” Diana told me.
“It’s complete rubbish.
“But now I laugh about it and think, ‘People know who I am and what I’m like.’
“I go out once in a blue moon. It’s just silly.
“Now you see stories on Britney or whatever in the paper and I just ignore them because I bet it’s a load of rubbish.”
The X Factor is on ITV1 at 7.15pm and 10pm tonight.
