Diana: The claw's here to stay

Diana Vickers said she has no intention of stopping her now-famous "claw" action while she performs on The X Factor.

Speaking at a secret gig for competition winners, the 17-year-old said the jibes about her hand movements - which include a Facebook group devoted to it - did not get her down.

"It doesn't upset me - if anything I find it really funny," she said.

"I sort of tamed it a bit on Saturday night because it's just so natural, if I was stood there really wooden people would be like 'why is she not moving?', so it's just something I do naturally and I talk with my hands as well."

Diana added that she found it strange people were so interested in her love life - with rumours abounding about a possible relationship with fellow contestant Eoghan Quigg.

"I don't know why people are so interested in the love life of a 17-year-old girl, when they have love lives of their own," she said.

Marvin Humes, 23, of boy band JLS also denied rumours he fancied Diana - after the pair were spotted sharing a private joke.

"She's too young for me, plus having a relationship in The X Factor house would be a really bad idea," he said.
