Former X Factor star Ruth Lorenzo has revealed that she is still friends with her show mentor Dannii Minogue.

The Spanish singer confirmed that she often meets up for power walking and gossip sessions with the Aussie.

She told the Daily Star: "Dannii and I are still great friends. We've started power walking but we didn't talk about The X Factor. We just talk about boys, boys, boys instead."

Lorenzo was the eighth contestant to be voted off The X Factor in last year's series. At the time, Minogue said that her protégé would be a "friend forever".

Lorenzo reportedly signed a record deal with EMI/Virgin in April.
