X Factor guest mentor Michael Bublé has confessed that he is “smitten” with one of the contestants on this year’s show. The Superstar of Big band is said to have a soft spot for Stacey Solomon.

The 34-year-old star has been helping all the hopefuls to prepare their performance for the Big Band week on the show but he said that Solomon had made a special impression on him.

Michael told the Daily Star: “She’s so cute!”

He said that Stacey kept bursting into tears in rehearsals because of the “emotion” of the song she will sing on Saturday night’s show.

Michael said: “I told her to go home, write out the lyrics, read and read and let the song do the work – do it for her little guy.”

Bublé also said that he was happy to be back on the show, having coached Leon Jackson and Rhydian Roberts in 2007.

He said: “It’s great to be back. Last time I had such a laugh with Rhydian and Leon and the rest, all hugely talented.

“It finished with me having Leon up on stage singing `Home‘ with me at Wembley. Amazing.

“Perhaps we do the same thing again this time around!”

How Fantastic to meet Michael !! Have you say on our new forum…..
