X Factor finalist Joe McElderry has been chatting ahead of tonight’s final about his time on the show, revealing he’s become friends with Cheryl Cole’s husband Ashley Cole, how Cheryl misses ‘Geordie pizzas’ and his plans if he wins the final tonight.
Speaking after last night’s show, Joe said: “Ashley [Cole]‘s been down to the studio several times.
“We get on well and have a chat in Cheryl’s dressing room and talk about the show and my performance.
“He watches the show from there and last time I saw him he said to me ‘You’re doing so well. I hope you win.’”
Joe also praised his mentor Cheryl for helping him throughout the series, saying “We’ve got so much in common.
“When we get together we use local language which only someone from South Shields would understand.
“We talk about all the things we miss from the north-east and things you get up there that you can’t get in London. Cheryl said she misses Geordie pizzas.
“It’s basically a pizza with a kebab on top. There’s no such thing in London but when she said it I knew exactly what she was talking about.”
Joe finally revealed his plans if he won tonight’s £1 million recording contract, saying he’d not only like to purchase a house for his mum but two for himself. “I’d like to have a place near home, then if there’s enough money another place in the city to use as a base.
“Nothing massive, I don’t want a mansion. Just two smaller places so I can travel between the two.”
The final starts tonight on ITV1 from 7:30PM.
