Diana Vickers has revealed that a dog would be her ideal Christmas present.

However, the X Factor finalist admitted that she may find herself too busy to look after the pet properly.

She said: "I want a dog, I really want a dog for Christmas. But I don't know whether I am going to be busy, whether that would be practical. Lots of clothes, as well. And a good book."

Despite rumours of a romance with fellow X Factor contestant Eoghan Quigg, Vickers recently confirmed that she will spend Christmas with her boyfriend, university student Chris Jones.
