Cheryl's Ashley is my new best mate
JOE TELLS OF CHATS IN DRESSING ROOM
Show favourite Joe McElderry revealed how he has struck up a new friendship with Cheryl Cole's husband Ashley.
The 18-year-old, the front-runner for glory in tonight's final and also backed by mentor and fellow Geordie Cheryl - told how he bonded with the England and Chelsea defender during breaks in the live shows and that the 28-year-old has backed him to win.
Joe said: "Ashley's been down to the studio several times.
"We get on well and have a chat in Cheryl's dressing room and talk about the show and my performance.
"He watches the show from there and last time I saw him he said to me 'You're doing so well. I hope you win.'" Tonight Joe will be cheered on by mum Eileen, 47 and dad Jim, also 47, as well as aunts, uncles and cousins who have made the 250-mile trip down from Northumbria to back him. Joe has impressed the judges with his powerful performances and remains on course to scoop the show's top prize - a £1million record contract with Simon Cowell's record label.
His win would make it the second year in a row his mentor Cheryl Cole has won the show with her act - following Alexandra Burke's success in 2008.
And Joe credits the Girls Aloud singer for setting him on the road to stardom.
"We've got so much in common.
"When we get together we use local language which only someone from South Shields would understand.
"We talk about all the things we miss from the north-east and things you get up there that you can't get in London.
"Cheryl said she misses Geordie pizzas.
It's basically a pizza with a kebab on top.
There's no such thing in London but when she said it I knew exactly what she was talking about."
Meanwhile Joe also said he planned to buy a house for his mum - and TWO new homes for himself if he wins tonight.
He added: "I'd like to have a place near home, then if there's enough money another place in the city to use as a base.
"Nothing massive, I don't want a mansion. Just two smaller places so I can travel between the two."
