Paije: 'Rihanna's bum made me scream'

X Factor finalist Paije Richardson has claimed that Rihanna flashed him her bum when she was a guest on the show.

Richardson, who wowed the judges on Saturday with his 'I'm A Believer'/'Hey Ya!' mash-up, confessed that he ended up screaming when the incident happened in rehearsals.

Speaking to X Magazine, he said: "Rihanna showed me her bum last week. She was dancing and was like, 'Can you see my booty?'

"I was like 'Ahhhhhhhhh!'... I'd run away to Barbados with her if she asked."

Meanwhile, the 19-year-old wildcard act also confessed that he nearly quit the show following the death of his grandmother.

"Rebecca and Mary stopped me going. I just sat down with them and they're both so warm and loving, I felt happy again," he said. "I didn't even have to tell them how I was feeling. I decided I had to stop wallowing. I had to pull myself together."
