Diana Vickers: I’m a bit wiser now

Diana Vickers has claimed that she is a “bit wiser” now. The “Once” singer admitted that she struggled to cope with the attention when she was on The X Factor in 2008.

“It was crazy back when I was in the show, especially that week when I had to sit out because of my throat infection,” The Mirror quotes her as saying.

“But then you know it’s going to be like that because it’s the most talked-about show on TV. There’s a lot of press and you see it every year. You can’t prepare yourself properly for it though. It’s a bit like, ‘Flippin’ heck’. Absolutely crazy.”

However, she continued: “Now it’s different, though, because I’ve written my own music and I’m not doing covers anymore. I think I’m a bit wiser than I was, which has come from working with older and wiser people. I’ve learned so much.”
