Latest on the X Factor 2014 finalists

Andrea Faustini isn’t thinking about winning

He may be the red hot favourite but Andrea .. is not thinking about winning The X Factor.

The bookies have cut the Italian singer’s chances of making it through to the final in December already but he’s ignoring all the odds.

Speaking ahead of tomorrow night’s latest live show, Andrea explained: “I would be very happy if I won but I’m not thinking about it.

“I freak out because I am here and there are only three other boys left.

“There are some very talented guys, and obviously they are in the competition with me but I am just focused on myself right now.”

Meanwhile, in a new interview with the Daily Mirror, Andrea revealed he was single and yet to ever have a relationship.

“I’ve never been in a relationship before,” he admitted. “Never in my life.

” I’ve not found that special person yet.”

The 20-year-old said: “To be honest, love is not what I am looking for right now… but if it comes I am here.

“Who could that special person be? I really don’t know. Beyonce is my idol, but she’s taken so there’s no way.”

The latest X Factor live show is shaping up to be a rough one with an illness effecting seven of the remaining fourteen acts.

Half of the X Factor house have been struck down by the flu, which has also hurting the Strictly contestants too!

Those left wrapped up in bed trying to recover ahead of tomorrow night’s 80s special include Lola Saunders, Ben Haenow, Jake Quickenden and Stereo Kicks singer James Graham.

Meanwhile, James’ bandmate Casey Johnson has an eye infection and Stephanie Nala is on voice rest.

Then there’s also poorly Chloe Jasmine, who was in hospital this week after injuring her foot on glass.

Earlier this week, Jay James revealed he had gone to see a doctor with Ben.

He tweeted: “On the way to the doctors with @Bhaenow #properillbruv.”

Speaking to The Sun newspaper today, a show source said: “Everyone seems to be getting ill. It is a real worry.

“There are so many contestants on voice rest, but hopefully that will mean they are well enough for the show.”

Yesterday saw the bookies make Steph the favourite to leave this weekend, with Stevi Ritchie and Jake also in danger.

The X Factor 2014 continues this Saturday night from 8PM on ITV with 80s week.
