'Laughable': Katie Waissel has denied rumours she is fleeing to the US to continue her jazz career as alter-ego Lola FontaineThe drama just won't stop for X Factor diva Katie Waissel.
After holding on to her place in the competition last night, at the expense of crowd favourite Aiden, the singer woke up this morning to find herself at the centre of yet another scandal.
Her old record company in the US released a song featuring her vocals last week, despite show bosses shelling out thousands of pounds to buy her out of her contract so she could take part in the series.
News of the release has prompted newspaper reports that Katie is set to return to Los Angeles after the competition finishes to continue performing under her jazz singer alter ego Lola Fontaine.
The Sun claims that instead of participating in the X Factor tour with the other finalists, the 24-year-old plans to escape her unpopularity here in the UK to make a fresh start in America.
But the former receptionist was quick to dismiss the reports. She wrote this morning on her Twitter page: 'I have to laugh,apparently now I'm 'fleeing' to the US! C'mon give us a break!! Stop writing all this nonsense!!it hurts!!'
'She's alright': Aiden Grimshaw reveals his feelings about Katie on Daybreak
Frank: The talented 18-year-old said 'It is what it is' of his elimination from the competition, adding that it is 'an entertainment show'Meanwhile Aiden Grimshaw has fuelled the rumours that Waissel is just as unpopular in the finalist camp as she is with viewers.
Appearing on This Morning today after his elimination from the X Factor last night, 18-year-old Aiden was non-committal when questioned on his feelings for Katie.
'She's alright,' he said. Adding that her never-ending hug after hearing the results: 'It wasn't the time for a cuddle.'
He also talked about his reaction to getting the boot last night on Daybreak, saying 'I'm ok. I had a bit of a sob with Matt and got over it.'
Asked if he was shocked, he replied: 'You've always got to expect you're going to be in the bottom two and prepare. It is what it is.
Let loose: Aiden confessed to 'having a few beers' after the showOn being in the bottom two, he said: 'You just try and sing the best that you can,' adding of his competitor Katie: 'She got more votes, so it was fair dos.'
But he said he felt uncomfortable when Katie got booed: 'It's not nice to watch somebody get booed.'
Bleakley and Chiles then asked him about his comment last night that he had been tipped off by a friend, saying Twitter was reporting he was in the bottom three.
But Aiden said: 'He's one of my friends who likes to throw in the odd corker now and again. It was probably just word on the street.'
In the sing-off, the Blackpool native performed Crowded House's Don't Dream It's Over, while former receptionist Waissel sang Christina Aguilera's Save Me From Myself.
The finalists are contractually obliged to take part in the X Factor tour which begins in 2011.
Katie recorded the duet with US artist David Reed, Moving Mountains, for his album The Private Life of David Reed.
