X Factor favourite Lucie Jones has revealed what she really thinks about her glamorous new look created with the help of Dannii Minogue.

The 18-year-old told of her "shock" when she first looked in the mirror after her radical transformation and admitted that it took time getting used to her new popstar look.

Lucie has had her teeth whitened, her hair dyed darker and extensions put in. She also appears to have had her eyebrows thinned out.

Speaking exclusively to Mirror.co.uK Lucie admitted: “I was shocked when I first saw it. It took a bit of getting used to. It’s a lot darker and I have hair extensions.

“But now I love it – I can do much more with it.”

The Welsh singer, who made it through to the final 12 after wowing Dannii Minogue with Gloria Estefan’s Anything For You, also revealed that she can't wait until Saturday's first live show but remained tightlipped about what she was going to perform.

“All I can say is that it’s a big song and I have big boots to fill," she said.

"I’m privileged to sing it because it’s one of my favourites."

The finalists have spent this week being mentored by Robbie Williams and Lucie added: “Meeting Robbie was unbelievable – I used to go and see him with thousands of others in the crowd when I was 10 so I couldn’t believe it was just him and me in the room.

“He was humble and good looking, but I didn’t fancy him – he’s old enough to be my dad!”
