"We chatted for an hour, she gave me the biggest pep talk ever," Brucknell told Daybreak. "I was so emotional, but she was emotional too! It made me feel better because I cry all the time and was worried I was a psycho, but Lady GaGa does it too."
Brucknell added that she had genuinely expected to leave The X Factor this week and speculated that viewers were unimpressed with her backstage antics.
"When I'm off stage, I'm just like, 'OK, I want to watch TV now', but the show expected people to be the same on and off the stage," she argued. "I did everything I could."

Brucknell claimed on Saturday (November 12) that she could "identify" with ejected contestant Frankie Cocozza, noting: "Guys and girls deal with criticism very differently. I got upset and everyone knew I was upset. He bottled it up inside."
