Rex Features

X Factor contestants Eoghan Quigg and Diana Vickers have laughed off rumours that they are an item.

Despite tabloid speculation that the pair are romantically involved, a show source insisted that the duo are "just good friends and nothing more".

The insider said their platonic friendship has not been affected by the rumours and, as the youngest contestants in the house, they are continuing to "mess about together".

This week's X Factor will see the hopefuls sing a Britney Spears track and an American hit. Spears will appear on the show performing new single 'Womanizer', her first live performance in the UK in five years.

Teen star Miley Cyrus will also perform on the programme.

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