It has been revealed that finalist, Niki Evans was disappointed with her first taste of showbiz.
When Niki was 16, record producer Pete Waterman put her as supporting act for 80s pop star, Sonia. She was devestated to learn that she had to lose weight and change her hairstyle.
Niki's mother, Annette told The Mirror newspaper: "The tour was her dream. Yet she came back devastated. Supporting Sonia was not a glamorous life at all. I had a heartbreaking call saying, 'Mum, I've got to lose weight'. She was a size 12 but lost 21lb in six weeks. She had her long hair cut off too and looked gaunt when she came home full of stress coldsores."
Niki failed to make a solo pop career, but hopes to make it through The X Factor.
