Lily Allen has admitted she's shocked Diana Vickers is favourite to win The X Factor.
The 23-year-old singer couldn't believe it when Spanish diva Ruth Lorenzo, 26, lost the public vote on Saturday, despite winning praise from the judges for her 2 performances.
She thinks bosses have paved the way for Diana, 17, to be crowned the winner because they let her have a week off when she had a throat infection last month.
‘Ruth was my favourite – really Vickers should have gone,’ she tells Radio 1. ‘I felt the whole thing was a bit of a farce.
‘When she didn't sing on Mariah Carey week she should have had to come back the next week and sung a Mariah song as well as a Best Of British song, then it would have been fair. I don't think that Diana is very good.’
Lily, 23, thinks the teenager doesn't have a strong enough voice to have made it through auditions on the ITV show.
‘Diana's good enough for Eurovision!' Lily jokes. 'I'm a nice person really, I just don't like Diana Vickers!’
