DIANA Vickers has had an offer she will Never Forget from Gary Barlow.

The Take That singer told the 17-year-old that if Simon Cowell didn’t sign her then he would.

Diana – who is mentored by Cheryl Cole on the show – got a confidence boost after meeting Gary and Mark Owen this week.

But she is still said to be feeling the pressure after a disappointing performance last week and is worried about ending up in the bottom two.

Saturday’s show will see appearances from Take That and last year’s contestants Rhydian and Same Difference.

Tune in to the X Factor on Saturday, November 22 at 7.20pm and the results show at 9.35pm on ITV1.

X Factor's Diana Vickers showed off a new accessory as she left the X Factor house in London today - a henna tattoo covered in jewels.

Perhaps the 17-year-old singer was taking inspiration from mentor Cheryl Cole, who has a decorative tattoo on her hand.

Diana, who returned to the X factor this week after sitting out a session with laryngitis, was snapped as she ventured out in a 60s style pink dress.

Despite having just recovered from her illness Diana braved the cold wintry day without a coat or scarf.

Diana has emerged as one of the competition's favourites thanks to her unique voice and enchanting performances.

Many have tipped her to win the show, including Pop Idol winner Will Young, who coached the contestants for one week's show.

He said: 'I do think Diana has the whole package. I think she's very ready and very clever.'

X Factor star Eoghan Quigg has denied that he is dating fellow hopeful Diana Vickers.

The 16-year-old admitted that the pair are close but insisted that there is no romance between them.

"I know there has been speculation about us," he told The Mirror.

"She's the most attractive girl in the house for me but there isn't anything like that going on. She's my best friend in the competition."

Quigg also commented that he is enjoying the attention he receives from mentor Simon Cowell now that he is the judge's only remaining act.

"The fact that I'm the only one of Simon's acts left in the X Factor is helping me a lot. All his attention has turned towards me instead of it being shared three ways," he said.

The video premieres exclusively on ITV1 at 6:10pm tomorrow night, and will be available to watch here on the official website immediately afterwards - again and again - from 6:15pm.

As the charity single heads for a second week at Number One, record sales show no signs of slowing up, even Prime Minister Gordon Brown has shown his support by pledging to buy a copy for his wife’s birthday.

Director General of the Royal British Legion, Chris Simpkins, said: "The sales are amazing. But equally amazing is the way The X Factor has made Remembrance meaningful to the generation represented by British Armed Forces on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan".

"We wish the video every success."

A throat infection is reportedly threatening Diana Vickers' performance on The X Factor tomorrow night.

The 17-year-old has been forced to miss rehearsals after being diagnosed with laryngitis yesterday. Vickers, who is in Cheryl Cole's camp, is currently the bookies' favourite to win the ITV contest.

A source told The Mirror that there is only "a 10% chance" that Vickers will be able to perform in the show. This week contestants will sing songs from the back catalogue of Mariah Carey, who is also due to perform.

"Diana lost her voice on Tuesday and couldn't sing a note," the source added. "She's dosed up on medication and just hopes she'll regain it."

Diana was safe tonight, and will perform MARIAH CAREY hits next week, as part of the top 8. Unfortunately, we lost Austin tonight, who was against Rachel in the bottom 2.

Tonight Diana performed as part of the top 9, and sung "Call Me", by Blondie. The judges loved the performance, but do not take it for granted as Diana needs our votes to stay in the competition.
Let's make Diana Vickers the X Factor Winner 2008!

X FACTOR hopeful Diana is hoping for Vicker-tory when she dances with a hot male troupe tomorrow.
The quirky 17-year-old is scared that she won't cut it when she tries to dance with some sexy male dancers on tomorrow's disco night.

Diana, who's yet to dance with shoes on, told an X Factor source that she's petrified about trying to keep up with the routine and boogie with the gorgeous guys.

Lucky Diana!
