We’d love to hear your suggestions for song choices below, just leave your comment in the box.

Alexandra Burke wants a boyfriend.

London, UK 10/09/2009 06:34 PM GMT (TransWorldNews)

The ‘Bad Boys’ singer – who shot to fame after winning UK TV talent show ‘The X Factor’ – has been single for a year and admits all her previous romances have been a disaster.

She told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “I was 16 when I had my first relationship. It lasted about two years. Then I dated another guy for six months last year but he was a bit of a nutcase.

“I let him go just before ‘X Factor’ went live. He was very insecure and I have no time for that. There’s been no one since.

“I am looking for a boyfriend though. I have never been in love but I want to feel that. I’m ready for it.”

Despite her single status, the 21-year-old star has been on dates with ‘Gavin and Stacey’ actor James Corden – who sent her a £4,000 watch after she won ‘The X Factor’ – but insists they will never be more than friends.

She said: “We’ve stayed in touch ever since he sent me the watch and we even went to see ‘Thriller Live’ together a couple of weeks ago.

“He’s still trying it on. But sorry James, it’s never going to be more than friends.”

Alexandra has also been romantically linked to rapper Chipmunk and JLS star Aston Merrygold after they were seen dancing together at the MOBO awards last month but she claims she isn’t interested in either of them.

X Factor secrets: What really goes on inside the X Factor house

By Rachael Wheeler, Mirror.co.uk 9/10/2009

X Factor favourite Lucie Jones has lifted the lid on what really goes on inside the X Factor house.

Lucie has told how the other finalists playfully watch and laugh as shy Jamie Archer attempts to chat up his crush – Kandy Rain’s Coco Lloyd saying: “Jamie so fancies Coco. He’s so coy and sweet – he doesn’t know what to say to her. It’s so funny.”

And although she insists there’s nothing between her and fellow Welsh singer Lloyd Daniels, Lucie has let slip that there is a strong bond forming between Joe McElderry and Rachel Adedeji.

She said: “Rachel is hilarious, but when she’s with Joe they are really funny together and make everyone laugh.”

Mum-of-one Stacey Soloman keeps everyone in the house in good spirits with her “infectious” giggling according to Lucie.

“Stacey is hilarious, an absolute genius. I actually can’t get enough of her – her giggling is infectious.

“She comes across so well on the camera, because she’s so genuine and adorable.”

Welsh Lucie also revealed that she and the other finalists live a life of luxury in their millionaire mansion in West Hampstead, north London.

The pad has a gym, giant plasma TV, state-of-the-art sound system, and televisions in the bathroom.

“It’s absolutely gorgeous, so modern and chic”, said Lucie.

“There’s a huge kitchen, a gym and I’ve got a TV in the bathroom!”

X Factor: Robbie Williams predicts that Stacey Solomon will win

Robbie meets Stacey

Robbie Williams has caused quite a stir in the X Factor house after he branded Stacey Solomon as “the one to beat.”

Robbie held mentoring sessions with all the X Factor acts this week, check out the pictures here. But it seems that he has a special place in his heart for single mum, Stacey.

He gushed: “Stacey’s great. I want one! “I think every home should have one.”

Stacey must be good then, I like her myself anyway.

The worst favourite in betting history is X Factor front-runner Danyl.

It's difficult to know what the "X" factor is - if we knew what it was it wouldn't be called X - but whatever it is, Danyl ain't got it.

What he has got is a hugely annoying mug.

Danyl is 66-1 to be first act eliminated and I've seen a lot worse bets than that - for example Danyl at 4-1 to win the series.

We saw from the early elimination last year of hotly fancied Laura that X Factor has a capacity to shock - Dannii Minogue looks permanently surprised - and the big surprise to me is a Danyl elimination would be considered surprising.

Former strippers Kandy Rain are the 7-4 favourites to be put out first and considerably shorter to put out first.

I now have good news and bad news for X Factor fans.

The bad news is two headed monster John & Edward, who should really be odds-on favourites to go tonight, will probably be saved by a bigger Irish vote than the Lisbon Treaty got.

The good news is Rachel can still be backed at 16-1 to win the series. Only the victories in the last two series of similarly young, similarly female Leona and Alexandra has stopped me having the biggest bet of my life on Rachel.

Well, that and a lack of funds.

Oops I thought it was all Robbie songs this week
