Ruth starstruck by Take That masterclass

Ruth Lorenzo has admitted that she was starstruck when she met her childhood crushes Take That during this week's X Factor masterclass.

"My god, it must have been one of the best experiences ever because I met Gary [Barlow] and Mark [Owen]," she said on her video blog.

"When I was younger, I wrote a letter to them asking them to come and sing for me on my birthday. I wrote it in Spanish and I'm not even sure if I sent it to the right address."

She continued: "Standing there in front of them, I was, 'You're so hot'. When I went in the room, I said, 'Please, can I have a kiss?' When I left I needed another kiss before I went as well!"

Lorenzo also revealed that the boyband were impressed by her rock interpretation of one of their songs, which she will perform on Saturday's live show.

"I'm going to take their song and rock it up a little bit and they said they liked the idea," said the Spanish singer.

"They said, 'Singing other people's songs isn't about singing like other people, it's about making songs your own and singing your own way'. They're excited to see what happens with their song."
