The last of Cheryl Fernandez-Versini's acts to stay in the competition, Lauren was booted of the show during the semi-finals.
She left Fleur East, Andrea Faustini and X Factor winner Ben Haenow to battle it out in the final. 
During the interview she expresses her thanks to her mentor and close friend.

She told the publication: 'Cheryl's so hands-on, she's so nice, she gives me advice all the time [like:] "This is your one opportunity so take it!"
'I feel really and truly honoured when I look back on my experience. I had so much support from everyone. 
'Cheryl had given me an amazing opportunity and the show was just the most amazing experience of my life.'

X Factor winner Ben Haenow has since beaten Mark Ronson to claim the Christmas number one spot and Lauren says she can't wait for the show's tour to start.
Kicking off in Belfast, eight contestants from this year's series of the talent show will visit arenas nationwide throughout February and March. 
Lauren says: 'I’m so unbelievably excited for the tour to start and to get myself in gear and really start working hard for what I want, because at the end of the day I’ve been given my platform.
'I’ve been given my name so all that’s left now is to work really hard and everything should fall into place.' 
Exciting plans: Lauren says she can't wait for the X Factor Live tour to kick off in Belfast on 13 February, 2015
