The Finnish singer says she's been singled out by some of the show's viewers

SHE’S been bravely battling to keep her place on this year’s X Factor, but Finnish singer Saara Aalto has revealed she’s been “abused for being foreign”.

The wannabe star says she’s been singled out by some of the ITV show‘s viewers for being the only foreign act to make the live shows, which some believe is the result of “Brexit Britain”.

Saara told The Daily Star: “I hoped people would forget where I’m from. The competition is about singing and good performers.

“I hoped people would take me as I am. It doesn’t matter where I come from.”

She added: “There were people saying ‘why is she coming here?’. The thing is, Finland is such a small country.

“It only has a population of five million, which is half of London. There’s nothing there. I just had to get out. The UK is the perfect place to come.”

Saara has already faced being in the sing-off twice and this weekend took to the stage to perform Girls Aloud’s hit Sound of the Underground.

One viewer wrote on Twitter: “I hope y’all know Saara will still be bottom 3, even after a stunning performance. #Brexit Britain for you”

Another added: "True, #Brexit Britain. They're not voting for you because you're foreign. Saara is the best singer in the competition. #xfactor"

Saara, who commented that "my dream has always been to sing in Britain," added: "It is hard being the only foreign act.

"When I came here I moved to London and I was meeting so many new people and had to speak only in English which is not my native language.

"I don’t have the support of my hometown like all of the other acts have. I’ve had to build my fan base."
