LAUREN PLATT TALKS THE X FACTOR LIVE TOUR, HARRY STYLES' RESPONSE TO CHARLIE GEORGE DATING RUMOURS AND PLAYS 'HOW FAST CAN LAUREN PLAIT?'

Oh, we don't half miss hanging out with The X Factor lot now the whole telly talent show thing's over for another series. Ben Haenow's fit little fake tanned face, Fleur East's oh-so-sassy strutting, the hairspray fumes coming from Stereo Kicks' dressing room; we're suffering major withdrawls tbh. So thank SINITTA the final 8 acts from last year are all going up and down the country on The X Factor Live tour next month, eh.

Yup - on February 13th all our faves from Only The Young to Andrea Faustini are gonna be going on the road without the whole Simon/Cheryl/Mel/Louis judge-y situation, and we thought we'd catch up with semi-finalist Lauren Platt for a chinwag about it all.

Could basically do full-on cornrows in about a minute

We're talking those Charlie George off of OTY dating rumours (and Harry Styles' reaction to 'em involving the word 'sex'), Niall Horan's fangirling and that kinda shiz. All through a hat. Lauren Platt's hat. It's inspired journalism happening before your very eyes. http://bcove.me/spl1p9lo

Oh, and obviously we got her to take the 'how fast can Lauren plait?' challenge. Just how quickly can Platt plait? Let's find out.

So there you go. Approx 23 seconds. We'd just like to point out that the girls in the office have also tried this and managed 13 seconds and 14.8 seconds respectively, so yeah.
