XXX-FACTOR

Okay so, thanks to the wonderful Mr Harry Styles.. the family and I were able to get tickets to the X-Factor tour in Manchester last weekend.

Totally excited to see H up on stage, I kind of forgot the likes of Matt Cardle, Rebecca Fergurson and Cher Lloyd would also be performing...

Charlotte (sister), Mama, Me, Gem (Harry's sister) and Anne (Harry's mum) at the ready with our £11 (WHAAT) foam fingers!!!

Rebecca looked GORGE and sounded amazing as per

 MATT.CARDLE <3

Didn't dissapoint..

All the acts were literally soo good.. Cher Lloyd - who I previously didn't like, was probably the biggest turn-around when she performed Willow Smiths' : 'Whip it'

Paige, who I'd previously thought "meh hes okay" was AMAZING.

Mary's fans waved tesco bags as she belted out the big ones.

Wagner... well, lets just say I wasn't converted to a fan.

And of course, the boys were fabulous- so so so weird watching people SCREAM (I was one of them) at them, waving banners and singing along. And the addition of Bruno Mars within their set did it for me..!

After the show, we were able to go back to the hotel where the performers were staying to briefly congratulate Harry... the crowds outside were MEGA, with teenage girls queing in order to catch a glimsp of one of the performers.

 Charlotte and Wagner... one word : creeeeeeeeepy

Cher Lloyd - literally one of the sweetest girls EVER and 'Nora' became best buds.

Her new 'rihanna-red' hair looked hawwwt (even though I thought it was a wig!)

note- opinion totally changed of Cher, so cute and hillarious.. not at all chavvy

Gem with Louis and Zayn

  

 Matt and mama

The night ended with a dance-off between Cher and Wagner 

Extra:

Katie had the nicest ever miu miu bag.. J.E.A.L.O.U.S

Cher showed us her new RayBans which matched her hair colour- exactly.

Matt bought Charl a drink (yes- she nearly died)

The owner of SONY (very important big business man) completely bailed after one too many JD and Cokes maybe?!

Lloyd Daniels rocked up - looking TOTALLY different and a little less blonde, from 2009

and Aiden Grimshaw wore a wooly bobble hat and geeky glasses all.night.long.
