Diana Vickers: from X Factor to Little Voice Once mocked off The X Factor, Diana Vickers has landed a plum West End role in The Rise and Fall of Little Voice Remember the girl whom Simon Cowell described as the singing version of Marmite? With a voice some called soulful and others called strangled, 17-year-old Diana Vickers was last seen sobbing on stage at the X Factor semi-finals last year, voted off amid pitiless mockery and gossip. Well, forget all that. Nine months on, Vickers is the happiest teenager I’ve seen, jabbering breathlessly about her new life. On top of a record deal, the Blackburn-born Vickers, now 18, has landed the lead in the West End revival of Jim Cartwright’s The Rise and Fall of Little Voice, the part made famous by Jane Horrocks both on stage and in the 1998 film. “If someone had told me that I would be doing this a couple of months ago I’d have said no way,” she grins, pretty and casual in a floaty white blouse and little red skirt, with a tousled blonde mop of hair. “I was busy working on my music, but it was something I couldn’t turn down.” Cartwright brought the producer Nica Burns and the director Terry Johnson to see Vickers on the X Factor Live tour, and they decided she was the perfect LV — the girl who, with an alcoholic mother and an abusive boyfriend, finds solace in impersonating iconic singers such as Shirley Bassey. Can Vickers relate? “Yeah, she doesn’t want anyone to hear her and that was me a couple of years ago, and even now at karaoke,” Vickers muses, “but then I’m quite a bubbly girl and she hardly even speaks.” Vickers stars alongside Lesley Sharp and Marc Warren, both experienced actors. “It is a scary thing to do, but I have learnt a lot — I feel like I’m a little puppy and I’m learning everything and they give me little rewards,” she says with a giggle. The role has widened her musical horizons too. “When I started, I didn’t know who Marianne Faithful was, or Edith Piaf. I’ve always loved Dusty Springfield though.” Vickers wanted to be a singer from the age of 10, when a teacher at her private all-girls school, Westholme in Blackburn, spotted her in the choir. “I was always the lead in the school plays, but sort of knew I was going to be a singer,” she says. Vickers’s mum encouraged her to audition for The X Factor when she was 15, but she held off until after her AS levels. “I knew I was ready when I felt lost — I was in this little town trying to decide what to do with my life. My friend was like, ‘Right, you’re going to do The X Factor.’ ” But, of course, Cowell-created fame comes at a cost. It started with some light name-calling; hippy, for never wearing shoes on stage, and “Claw Girl”, for the strange hand movements that Vickers made while performing. Then came the throat infection that prevented her from singing on one of the live shows, and the relationship with her fellow contestant Eoghan Quigg, the fluffy-haired 16-year-old from Derry whom Vickers was snapped kissing — despite having a boyfriend back home. Her emotional exit then inspired rumours of a bust-up with her mentor, Cheryl Cole. “Those rumours were absolute rubbish. I left the show on good terms with Cheryl and the day after I even went to hers, and she sent me a nice little card and prezzie on my birthday.” And Eoghan? “Oh, it’s a complicated little story,” she sighs. “He was basically my everything on that show, and we just were each other’s rock. We had a very brief thing but we were never boyfriend and girlfriend.” So he’s not pining away for her, back in Derry? “Is he hell as! He’s 17!” The X Factor has opened many doors for her, including a glamorous new home in London. She first moved into Sloane Avenue in Chelsea, but discovered the flat was haunted (“a little boy was living there, I could just sense it”), and so moved to a new apartment near Battersea. Vickers is single, having split up with her high-school boyfriend, Chris, after leaving X Factor. “I’ve changed a lot, and God, I just wouldn’t have time for a boyfriend now.” Around a busy schedule of rehearsals, she spends her time hanging out with girlfriends — including her fellow contestant Ruth Lorenzo — dipping in and out of parties, shopping and ordering in Thai or sushi. “I’m absolutely knackered. It’s really hectic and you have to be really balanced and comfortable in yourself, and happy. And really I couldn’t be happier. I can’t believe I’m only 18,” she says wide-eyed. Her debut album, on RCA — co-written by Guy Sigsworth, a writer and producer for the likes of Madonna and Britney Spears — is on hold until after the play, and will be released in the spring. “Acting is great, and one day I might like to get into it seriously, but music is my love and that’s what I have to do next,” she insists. But first, she’s focusing on making a successful stage debut. She has faced the X Factor judges, but can Vickers hack the West End audience? “I know I’m going to be judged, but it doesn’t faze me any more,” she says with a smile. “I can’t wait until opening night.” |

Diana Vickers: 'I'm really glad I didn't win'
Wednesday, October 7 2009, 11:58 BST By Mayer Nissim, Entertainment Reporter Diana Vickers has said that she is happy that she did not win last year's X Factor. The singer was the ninth act to be voted off the show in 2008 after her performances of Avril Lavigne's 'Girlfriend' and Dido's 'White Flag'. Vickers told the Burnley Citizen: "I'm really glad I didn't win. It's great to not have been manufactured into something I'm not, or forced into getting an album out quickly to get back on TV. "I feel like I've got so much freedom and that I'm really getting my teeth into life. It's great." Of the current series, she added: "It's very surreal for me to watch. I thought I wouldn't have been able to even switch it on without feeling sick but, surprisingly I can sit down and watch it and have a laugh watching it. "I know what's going through the contestants' minds and it's such a rare experience to be on The X Factor that, although I don't know this year's contestants, I feel like I've got a connection with them." Last year's winner Alexandra Burke has rejected claims that Simon Cowell may exercise too much control over her musical direction. ------------------------ Diana is doing very well, don't think she would be doing what she is now if she had have won, and I think she knows that. ------------------------ |

I didn't want to give them the publicity. They are about the nastiest publication in the country. |

Diana Vickers and Lancashire Telegraph in West End debuts tonight
9:20am Thursday 8th October 2009 By Catherine Pye » DIANA Vickers is set to make her big West End debut tonight — with a little help from the Lancashire Telegraph. The 18-year-old former Westholme student from Huncoat takes the lead role in Little Voice. Producers of show at the Vauderville Theatre in London have ordered 200 copies of the paper to use on stage as a prop. Kevin Wilson, spokesperson for the production said: “It’s a scene where the mother of Diana’s character is checking something in the paper. “At first they were going to get the Evening Standard, but I said, no, let’s get the real paper from the area it’s set in and where Diana is from.” Little Voice is the tale of a painfully shy girl who lives alone in the north of England with her mother and has a talent for impersonating some of the greatest divas, including Judy Garland, Edith Piaf and Dame Shirley Bassey. For her big debut, Diana, who made her name in last year’s X Factor, reaching the semi final, will be supported by family and friends. Her mum Ann said it would be the first trip of many, adding: “I think it’s absolutely fantastic. I’m so proud of her. It’s a dream come true. “She’s thoroughly enjoyed the rehearsals and the other actors have been lovely with her. "She’s nervous, but that’s to be expected. There’s 12 of us going down to support her on her big night, and I’m hoping to go down again a few times to watch it.” Lesley Sharp, known for her parts in Cranford, Clocking Off, and Playing the Field, and Marc Warren, star of Hustle and Dr Who, take on the two other lead roles. As well as her acting, Diana has recently signed a record deal with RCA records and her debut album, which she has co-written, is due for release early next year. The Rise and Fall of Little Voice at Vaudeville Theatre, London, runs until January 30, 2010. |

VIDEOS: Diana Vickers in Little Voice rehearsals
10:02am Thursday 8th October 2009 See Here (Click) WATCH behind-the-scenes footage of former X Factor star Diana Vickers rehearsing for her West End debut. The 18-year-old East Lancashire singer is shown on new You Tube videos practising ahead of the opening night of Little Voice along with co-star Lesley Sharp. Diana said last month: “I had to audition like everyone else. "I didn’t want to think I could just walk into something because I’d been on a talent show. I will get a rush of adrenaline when I’m on the stage and then I’ll lose myself in it.” |
