Pick up a copy of this week’s issue of Grazia(out now) to read our exclusive chat with X Factor stars Chloe Jasmine, Stephanie Nala and Lauren Platt. To give you a taster, here are five things we discovered when we spent the day with Cheryl’s girls last week…
**They all get on really well, honest **
Mentioning no names, but in previous years Grazia has had to break up physical fights when shooting the X Factor Girls category. This year, the atmosphere couldn’t have been more different, with Lauren telling us, ‘We all know it’s a competition, we’ve all talked about it, but we don’t need to be in competition mode until we’re in the studio.’
And they all love Cheryl’s husband
Obviously we couldn’t wait to grill the girls on Cheryl’s new man, and the verdict was a firm thumbs up! Having met him at the judges houses stage, Lauren told us that he’s ‘a lovely man, and completely in awe of Cheryl’, while Chloe revealed that she’s even been helping Cheryl with her French. Apparently she’s not half bad!
Chloe turned down loads of money to compete
Model Chloe has a serious reason to do well in the competition – she turned down £40k worth of modelling jobs to be there. But she has no regrets, saying, ‘It’s only money though, and money can’t buy this experience.’
And she’s still in touch with Naomi Campbell
Naomi mentored Chloe when she was a contestant on The Face, and the supermodel has since been in touch to warn her to, ‘stay away from the paparazzi on nights out.’ As Naomi released a poorly received pop album, Babywoman, in 1994, can we expect a duet from her and Chloe in the live final? No, Chloe would prefer share the stage with a ‘hologram of Mozart’. Of course she would!
Don’t expect any romance in the house
Despite Lauren’s friends begging her to set them up with Jake Quickenden, none of the girls are expecting any house romances. In fact, Stephanie told us that the final 12 have all ‘friendzoned each other’, explaining, ‘we’re like brothers and sisters.’
