Hugs, wine and bonding in the dressing room... could this be the start of a new friendship? Guest performer Lady Gaga comforts X Factor reject Kitty Brucknell ~ star world news

An army of Kitty haters will be seething with jealousy when they realise that her X Factor rejection might just have a silver lining.
The singing hopeful was booted off the programme last night after facing the bottom two with Misha B.
But guest performer Lady Gaga appears to have taken a shine to her, whisking her off to the dressing room for a glass of wine and a shoulder to cry on after the results show had ended.

Best buddies: Lady Gaga went out of her way to find Kitty Brucknell backstage at X Factor and bond together in the dressing room

The Telephone singer, 25, was performing on the ITV series in honour of last night's theme, which saw the contestants battle for survival with Gaga versus Queen songs.

Kitty Brucknell had been disappointed that she couldn't pay tribute to her idol, after Kelly Rowland picked Born This Way for Misha B, leaving Brucknell to sing Don't Stop Me Now by the British rock band.

The song choice held special significance for Brucknell, 26, who spent her life impersonating Gaga and Britney Spears before she found fame on X Factor.
However, her luck might have changed as Gaga immediately ran onstage after Brucknell's exit, shouting 'Where's Kitty?' as she was flanked by her minders.
The girls then ended up locked in Simon Cowell's former dressing room, which Gaga had for the night, drinking wine together.

The singers looked like sisters with their peroxide locks and eccentric stage attire, which for Brucknell was ruffled feathers and for Gaga a lace bodice, not to mention their incredible voices.
A duet between the two is yet to be confirmed.

The final six acts battling for survival on the show next week are Little Mix, comeback queen Amelia Lily, Craig Colton, Marcus Collins, Janet Devlin and Misha B.
