X FACTOR finalist Stacey Solomon has revealed her son Zachary adored mentor Dannii Minogue – and said the Aussie singer would make an “amazing mum”.
Stacey, 20, who came third in the show, said Dannii was feeling broody after falling in love with her 18-month-old lad.
And she reckons the nine months before the next series would be the perfect time for judge Dannii to start a family, just like Xtra Factor host Holly Willoughby did last year.
Stacey – who wore a dazzling black and white tassled dress for the X Factor wrap party in London – told TV Biz: “When Dannii came round to my house she was playing with Zach and he loved her. She’s great with kids.”
Dannii, 38, is ready to settle down with ex-rugby player boyfriend Kris Smith. She has told fans: “I never thought I’d say this, but I’ve found the guy.” She is in Oz for Christmas with Kris, sister Kylie and her family, but vowed to keep in touch with Stacey.
The Essex girl, who raised money for Great Ormond Street hospital by singing karaoke with fans at Gatwick Airport yesterday, said: “Dannii told me to just enjoy everything as it’s happening.”
Stacey Solomon has revealed that she “needed a poo” during The X Factor semi-final.
The contestant, who finished in third place on this year’s series, admitted that she was overwhelmed standing on stage with Olly Murs and eventual winner Joe McElderry.
“I just got a bellyache and needed a poo, if I’m honest. But I held it in and then the poo feeling went and it was so much fun,” she told Heat.
“The final was so scary. I was just thinking, ‘I so hope it’s not me’. But I knew that anything could happen.”
Solomon went on to deny rumours that she was having a relationship with fellow contestant Murs.
“There’s only so many times I can say I’m not going out with him,” she said. “I’m not girlfriend material. I’m a geek. I wish I was going out with Peter Andre, though, or Aston from JLS.”
After a stunningly successful X Factor series that drew in up to 20million viewers, the champagne was flowing at a celebration party last night. And having been on their best behaviour for months as they tried to win the title, it was no surprise to see the wannabes letting their hair down And Stacey Solomon has more to let down than most. The X Factor contestant was a little unsteady on her feet as she left the show’s wrap party and took a slight tumble after twisting her ankle in her stilettos.
Steady on there: Stacey twists on her ankle as she leaves the X Factor wrap party in London last night In a strapless black mini-dress with white fringing, she looked every inch the glamorous pop star she hoped to become, right down to her black peep-toed Christian Louboutin heels. But the shoes proved to be more trouble than they were worth for the 20-year-old Dagenham-born girl, whose footwear had also got the better of her during rehearsals for the show – she fell twice during a tricky dance routine. The mother-of-one, who has previously admitted that she is much more comfortable in her flat slouchy Ugg boots, was criticised by Simon Cowell on a couple of occasions during the series for her lack of fancy footwork. Oops-a-daisy: She grabs a bouncer as her legs give way Painful: Her left ankle twists right over The same could not be said for her fellow finalist Olly Murs, who unfortunately wasn’t outside the Jalouse nightclub in London to give her much needed support. Although they arrived at the party separately, he had gallantly met Stacey from her car and made sure they were pictured together as they walked inside. But, as the rumours suggest, if there is a budding romance developing between the two and they were determined not to let on as shared only an innocent peck on the cheek before joining their fellow contestants. However, Olly doesn’t appear to be in a hurry to commit himself any time soon after a stunning brunette caught his eye as he left the party alone hours later, and seemed disappointed that he was immediately ushered away from her by his security.
