Graziella: 'Miss Frank is our baby'

Graziella Affinita has insisted that Miss Frank will not split up now that they have been voted off The X Factor.

The singer said that the girl group, who were put together by the show's judges at Boot Camp, believe that they have a future as a three-piece.

"I think we will treat Miss Frank like a baby. We're her parents and we have to nurture her so she does well for herself in the future," she told DS.

"We want a lot from her, because she is our creation. She is one person, created by three strong-minded women. For all women, beside us and beyond us, we want to show no matter where you come from, what size you are, what music you listen to, you can create something as beautiful and golden as Miss Frank."

Shaniece Davis said: "Definitely our future lies together. We've only shown a little bit of Miss Frank. There's a lot more to come from her. We are going to keep her up and keep nurturing her until she becomes something that is solid or massive."

Shar Alexandra added: "You have got to think that many groups are together for a couple of years, but we've only spent a few months. They have had time to nurture their chemistry, their tones and blends. We're still growing and we're still learning each other's voices. To do that in front of millions of people - you will have hiccups here and there - but people will see our growth from here on out, I think."

The X Factor continues next Saturday at 8pm on ITV1.
