The X Factor: Sam Bailey to sing Celine Dion smash-hit for 'Movie Week'

The X Factor's Sam Bailey has revealed that she is basking in Sharon Osbourne's attentions now she is Sharon's only remaining act.

The music-loving mum from Leicester is the last contestant in the Over 25s category, following the exits of Shelley Smith and Lorna Simpson from ITV's hit talent show.

"I'm gutted for Shelley," says Sam. "She and I got on like a house on fire. I know she's going to do so well out of this. I am gutted she left but at the same time, Sharon's going to concentrate on me and I don't feel like I'm up against someone in her own category."

The pressure is now on for Sam to make it through this weekend's 'Movie Week' themed edition of The X Factor. She is hoping to wow voting viewers and the judges with a performance of My Heart Will Go On, originally sung by Celine Dion from the blockbuster Titanic, which stars Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio.

"It's a massive song. It's going to be amazing. You're going to love it," adds Sam. "I hope it will be good and that I stay in for the week after - I really don't want it to be the curse of the Overs."
