EAST Lancashire is being urged to vote Diana Vickers to glory in the X Factor.

The 17-year-old Westholme pupil, who lives in Accrington, is in the semi finals on the ITV talent contest this Saturday.

If she gets enough public votes, she will be in the final the following Saturday.

And, if she makes the final, Diana is expected to stage a free concert in King William Street, Blackburn, on Monday.

Blackburn with Darwen Council leader Colin Rigby urged people to pick up the phone and see her through.

Coun Rigby said: “I think for the girl and for the town it is great news.

“Everyone should get behind her and vote her through to the next round.”

Diana will be singing for a place in the finals on Saturday against JLS, Eoghan Quigg and Alexandra Burke.
