Cole rewards 'X Factor' contestants
09/12/2009 - 12:31:54Cheryl Cole bought all her 'X Factor' contestants watches for doing so well.
The 'Girls Aloud' star – who mentors the boys on the ITV show – has only Joe McElderry, 18, left in the competition but insisted on rewarding all three members of her category, which included Lloyd Daniels and Ricky Loney.
Joe said: “She bought all the boys a watch. I always wear mine. It was so nice of her. She gave us them after the first live show.”
Joe, who made it through to next week’s final show on Sunday, said he now faces the dilemma of deciding what to buy the “girl who's got everything" for Christmas.
He said: “I want to buy Cheryl a combined Christmas and thank-you present because she’s been really supportive and I couldn’t ask for a better mentor.
"But what do you buy the girl who’s got everything? I might get her a Geordie present that means something to both of us."
The Newcastle-born singer also said if he won the competition the first thing he'd buy would be a dog, just like Cheryl's.
He said: "I’d buy my family stuff and I wouldn’t mind a house or a dog. I really want a dog. I know that’s random. I wouldn’t want a big one because I’m scared of big dogs, so a wee one.”
