Ruthless contestant impresses Cowell
X Factor contestant Raquelle Gracie impressed Simon Cowell by displaying a ruthless attitude at boot camp.

The 21-year-old hopeful had previously surprised the four judges at the auditions stage, by doing the splits at the end of her performance.

After entering the judges' room at boot camp, Raquelle was asked how she was finding the experience. She replied: "Good, but you have to stick to yourself."

A delighted Simon replied: "Totally agree with you, do not make friends, don't rely on anyone. Hate everyone and you'll do well!"

Once Raquelle had performed Phil Collins' 'Take A Look At Me Now' and left the room, Cowell remarked: "I wish this girl could sing, I just love her, she's ruthless, sexy, hates everybody, ambitious - every trait I love."

Louis Walsh laughed: "She's like a female version of you!"

The X Factor airs at 6.05pm and 8.30pm tonight on ITV1.
