Name: Laura Boyd
Occupation: Web Producer / Lead singer of Pooch
Most memorable X Factor moment? Eoggggghhhaaan crying his heart out and hugging the Vickers when she went. T'would bring tears to a glass eye.
Favourite X Factor contestant? Leona Lewis - obvious but what a talent. I also have a soft spot for Leon, Nikita and The MacDonald Bros who I have interviewed and they were all extremely lovely. I wanted to eat tiny Leon - scary? I thought so!
Worst ever X Factor contestant? Emmm, who was that girl band last year where one of the ladies looked like she had been seperated at birth with Vanessa Feltz? Ah yes, the imaginiative name of Girlband. Oh and Daniel (Ricky Gervais) Evans. When he got that diamond earring? Pass the sick bucket please.
Cheryl or Dannii? Go team Cheryl. Says what she thinks and looks a million dollars. I want her hair.
Simon or Louis? I love Simon but Louis makes me laugh. He's cute so gets my vote - so shallow.
Most looking forward to this year? The juicy gossip that always unfolds around the show and watching the real talent shine. I also love the makeover stage where the finalists get smartened up, their hair dyed and look like they've thrown up in a River Island factory.
Would you ever audition for the show? I would love too but I know I would cry if they slagged me, which is highly likely. Never say never...
Tip for the auditionees… Bands, ditch the colour co-ordinated outfits, they are soooooo Bucks Fizz!
