'X Factor' hopeful 'speaks to ghost'

An upcoming episode of The X Factor sees a contestant tell the judges that a deceased relative has urged her to audition on the talent show.

According to The Sun, Amy Winehouse impersonator Kelly Allen sings Corinne Bailey Rae's 'Put Your Records On' after speaking to a family ghost through a psychic.

Allen becomes frustrated with Simon Cowell's giggling throughout her performance, later admitting: "It made me so annoyed."

However, the hopeful's second audition - due to air on ITV1 later this month - gets approval from the judging panel.
