Amy tells Eoghan: I know you're SO good!
We've seen a lot of strange X Factor related stories in the newspapers but one of the weirdest - that singer Amy Winehouse has been phoning teen star Eoghan Quigg - is actually true!
Eoghan confirmed to us exclusively that he has received calls from Amy Winehouse and her God-daughter Dionne Bromfield, and that Amy is supporting him all the way.
Eoghan told us how 12 year-old Dionne called him up after meeting backstage at the show. He told us, "She rang me up, and then she said, 'Here’s Amy...'"
"And it was Amy Winehouse! It was cool!"
The pair hit it off, with the troubled superstar telling Eoghan, "I know you're the youngest there and you're the only boy. You're beautiful in yourself".
She told him, "You're taking it all in and that's really, really good. I hope you do really well".
Eoghan was delighted by Amy's good wishes. "She was telling me I was good and I was going to well, and was backing me. It was quite nice to be on the phone to someone who's had No. 1's in the charts!"
What's more, it looks like Amy would like take a hand in Eoghan's musical career (although Simon Cowell might have something to say about that)! Having helped her God-daughter secure a record deal by posting a clip of her singing on YouTube, 'mentor' Amy is pulling out all the stops to have the Irish star do a duet on Dionne's forthcoming album.
Will it happen? Let's wait and see...
