X Factor singer Saara Aalto ‘fancies’ Nicole Scherzinger
The Finnish hopeful has her sights set on the 'sexy' Pussycat Doll
X FACTOR star Saara Alto might be mentored by Sharon Osbourne but she has her sights firmly set on the other female on the panel Nicole Scherzinger, after admitting a crush on the "so sexy" Pussycat Doll.
The Finnish singer revealed her sheer adoration for Scherzy ahead of tonight's live show on ITV.
Saara who is engaged to lesbian lover Meri Sopanen, had previously gushed about the pair's feelings for Nicole raving: "She is the most beautiful woman in the world.
"She has real sex appeal.
"Meri and I were both amazed that she was going to be a judge on the show when I applied."
Despite the fact she is the bookie's favourite to be booted out of the show tomorrow, Saara doesn't seem downbeat.
"I love her so much."
During the earlier rounds of the show, Saara confessed she felt jealous of The X Factor judge because Meri has got a soft spot for her.
Meri shared the picture of herself cosied up to the former Pussycat Doll who Saara described as the “love of her life”.
Saara shared the snap and wrote on Instagram: “When I first met my girl she had Nicole’s picture on her lock screen (that’s how much she loves her… And I was a bit jealous).
“One of the best moments yesterday was when my fiancee @merisopanen met the love of her life @nicolescherzy.”
Saara has been dating Meri since she ended her nine year relationship with Finnish pop star Teemu Roivainen.
Yet things could take a turn for the worse for the vocalist this weekend.
Saara is now the “even money favourite” to leave the ITV competition.
Sun Bets spokesman Tim Reynolds said: “Saara may have survived the dreaded sing-off three times but this week will be her stiffest challenge yet, and is our obvious even money favourite.
“Saara will be praying that the rubbish Ryan somehow lands in the bottom two on Sunday night, or her X Factor stint is Finnished.”
Scottish singer Ryan Lawrie has only slightly better odds of staying in the competition at 2/1.
