Eoghan Quigg has said that he will be firmly behind Diana Vickers to win The X Factor if he fails to take the crown.

Quigg and Vickers have been the subject of speculation recently, with tabloid newspapers claiming that they are a couple. However, Quigg has insisted that the pair are "just really good friends".

"I'd probably like to see Diana winning it if I didn't win because she's my best friend in the house. It would be really cool and amazing to see her win," he told the Belfast Telegraph.

The 16-year-old, who will this week perform the Britney Spears song 'Sometimes', revealed that he has enjoyed every routine he has taken part in during the series.

"I liked every one of them but my favourite is probably 'Never Forget' by Take That, because I got to do a lot of stuff on stage," he said.

The X Factor airs at 7.35pm and 10.15pm tonight on ITV1.
