X Factor 2008 - Week 5 - Diana Vickers, the Favourite, has laryngitis!

Shock! Horror! She is quoted as favourite to win, but Diana Vickers has lost her voice! In a singing competition, that's rather significant.

The 17 year old reportedly lost her voice on Tuesday after being struck down by laryngitis. It is so severe that medication has not enabled her to fully recover in time. A specialist has advised her not to sing. She has not taken part in any preparations for tonight's show.

Diana is still hoping to perform tonight, but it is probably best she takes advantage of the bye rule. If an act is struck down with illness so severe they can not perform properly, they are allowed to miss a week of the competition. I think that rule will come in nicely. It is simply not worth Miss Vickers taking the risk in a contest she has a very serious chance of winning. The potential rewards are huge.

We will see if she make the stage tonight, but I'm hoping not so we can see a fully repaired Vickers next week.
