Disco inferno! X Factor's Fleur East wows in metallic dress as she channels Tina Turner's retro look for ITV talent show

She is fast becoming a firm favourite in the annual ITV competition.
But pop fans will warm to Fleur East even more when she channels chart icon Tina Turner in this weekend's X Factor performance.  
The 26-year-old singer was seen making yet another stylish display as rehearsed at the show's London studios on Friday.

Wearing a silver Bodycon dress, the talent show hopeful looked stunning as she took to the stage for a dress rehearsal.
Sporting her trademark hair with glossy lips and a pair of black peep-toe shoes, she cut a retro - yet glamorous - figure. 
In fact, she boasted a perfect pop star physique - just like Tina Turner back in the day.

Sadly, not everybody was so well-dressed.
Stevi Ritchie wore a gold, Egyptian-style suit for his borderline-pantomime production, but clearly doesn't mind. In fact, he admits that his time on the X Factor is coming to an end.
In fact, he brutally described his own performance on last week's show as 'rubbish'.
The singer was in the bottom two for the first time but was saved by the public vote, with Jay James being eliminated. 
The singer from Colchester, Essex, admitted: 'I'm here by the scruff of my neck. I haven't got long left if I'm totally honest but I'm having a good time. I knew I would be in the bottom two because my performance was really bad.
'I know when I've done a good performance but I came off stage and thought that was rubbish.' 
At least he's honest: 'I knew I would be in the bottom two because my performance was really bad'

Stevi, 34, said he is not going to go easily and is determined to do everything he can to try to keep his place in the competition during Saturday's show.
He said: 'I'm going to come back fighting this week. I've got a massive performance. If I can last one more week I'll be happy.'

Alongside him, Lauren Platt was also seen practicing at the X Factor studios in London - but kept it casual in sportswear.
X Factor hopeful Andrea Faustini was also there.
He may have recently revealed that he's a virgin, but still had a spring in his step when he made his way to the ITV studios in London on Friday. 
The Italian star was visibly excited as he attended rehearsals for the prime-time talent show.

The Italian singer, who is tipped to win this year’s show, had already revealed that he has never had a girlfriend.
He told New! magazine earlier this month: ‘I have been single for 20 years.’
Now he has admitted that his sister is the most important woman in his life.
He explained: 'Love is something that I have never looked for and has never come my way. I haven’t yet found the special person who is right for me.’

He added: ‘I am the male Bridget Jones- awkward. I always mess up.’
Asked by Italian Vanity Fair if he had yet to lose his virginity he said: ‘Well, if in 20 years I have never been in love…’ 
The former star of Italian talent show “I’ll leave you with a song’ said his sister is ‘always with him’ and has a tattoo to remind him of her on his wrist.
However he doesn’t blame his cuddly physique is the reason for his lack of success for the opposite sex.
He said: The physical form has never been a problem for me. I have always been proud of my belly, acquired with years of carbs. ‘
