Layla Manoochehri from Girlband has decided the time is right to come clean about her X Factor past.
The stunning singer was thrilled on Saturday when the public vote meant that her group were safe to sing for another week.
She loved performing on the X Factor stage for the first time after being banned previously from entering the building.
Layla’s old job was to distribute tickets to The X Factor audience outside the Wembley studios.
She told the official X Factor website: “I’d stand outside the studio gates on a Saturday for hours on end.
“I had to count how many people there were coming into the studio. It was a terrible job – and it was usually freezing.
“I’d be out there in the rain, watching people come and go, and feel all the excitement. I imagined what it would be like to be up on the stage – even inside the building.”
The 22-year-old added: “Now we’ve made it to The X Factor live shows, I finally get a chance to see what it’s like in here!”
