All the backstage gossip from the X Factor 2012 Live Tour rehearsals

And we know you can’t enough of our singing starlets so with rehearsals under-way before the spectacular show starts, we grilled our pop stars backstage on music mania and any last-minute nerves.

13:00pm

Misha B is on the dance-floor having just arrived for rehearsals, wearing an uber-cool eclectic outfit! Bright and bubbly, despite being un-well last night, she tells us how she is feeling about the tour : “Excited is an under-statement. I am still struggling to comprehend that I am going to be touring, not only in one place, but all over the UK. I feel so privileged.” – And with the tour starting in her home-town of Manchester, Misha is “mega excited” to see all of her Aliens again….

13:30pm

As Marcus sits down to take a break from rehearsals, he flashes us his phone – “I’ve got two voicemails that I need to listen too from Gary Barlow” – Oh Em Gee, we are green with envy, the gorgeous Gary on speed dial, now that’s what we call ay-may-zing!

15:00pm

Janet is taking some time out in-between rehearsals, wearing her trade-mark Doc Martens; she sits on the side and chit-chats to us about gigging, playing the drums, oh and of course about the tour! “I am excited as I can be (lets out a girlie giggle), it’s true, I’m just not an excitable person, but it will be fun.”

17:00pm

As the day is winding up, we catch Amelia Lily, as she comes off the stage in her eye-popping pink pumps. Excited for the tour, she has one message: “All my little Lillies watch out for this big Lily…..” – Ooo we can’t wait!

SO with only 3 days to go till you our live stars take to the stage, make sure you have your all-important ticket.
