Liverpool star Rebecca Ferguson makes it to last three in X Factor final

Liverpool will be waiting with baited breath on Sunday night to see if Scouse songbird Rebecca Ferguson will be crowned winner of the X Factor.

The 24-year-old earned her place in the final three of the competition with two stunning performances on Saturday night’s live final.

The mum-of-two gave dueted with American superstar Christina Aguilera to sing ‘Beautiful’.

After the second performance, a clearly starstruck Rebecca told X Factor host Dermot O’Leary: “I’m made up!

“That was amazing.”

The Anfield born singer was cheered on back in her home town by a crowd of thousands during the first live final.

Wag Coleen Rooney hosted an outside broadcast from the city’s BT Convention Centre, within the Echo Arena complex.

Following teen rapper Cher Lloyd’s departure, Rebecca will now battle it out with painter and decorator Matt Cardle and boyband One Direction to win the competition and land the coveted recording contract.

Speaking ahead of the final, Rebecca said: “I’m just going to give it my best shot.
“I believe everything happens for a reason.

“If it’s meant to be, I’ll win. If it’s not, I won’t.”

Rebecca is currently third favourite, with bookmakers now offering odds of 4/5 on Matt to win, One Direction following at 2/1 and Rebecca at 4/1.

Tune in to ITV1 at 7pm on Sunday to see Rebecca compete in the second live final.
