Liberty X star Michelle Heaton spoke with Radio 1 about watching her boyfriend Andy Scott-Lee, who’s also the brother of former Steps singer Lisa Scott-Lee, perform on ‘Pop Idol’. “He rung me up on Wednesday night and said, ‘Oh, I cried.’ And I went, ‘Oh God no, you didn’t did ya?’ But then when I watched it, he got me crying as well ’cause he was so genuine,” Heaton said. “His objective of the whole competition was to get to the final 50 because then he could sing by himself for a minute and show that he can sing. He’s done that. He’s actually won his heat and got through to the final 12 which is a complete bonus. So anything else for me is just going to be brilliant.”

The Telegraph reports Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton had an embarrassing moment over the weekend when she mistook Prince Charles for London mayor Ken Livingstone, saying loudly before the royal meet and greet at the Party in the Park concert, “He should stop making excuses and just stop there being just so many road works. They cause congestion and it drives me mad.”

The Sunday People reports Michelle Heaton of Liberty X was stretchered off in tears at a charity soccer game in Liverpool after pulling a muscle before the kick-off. She won’t be dancing at the group’s concert on Wednesday in Manchester.
