Diana had taken many singing lessons and participated in local competitions, but had never sung professionally. Diana Vickers was a contestant in the 2008 series of The X Factor. Her performances were often unconventional, attracting both praise and criticism. Simon Cowell likened her to marmite, saying fans would either love or hate her singing. She courted further controversy when she was unable to perform during week 5 of the contest due to illness. She gained a lot of press attention for her relationship with fellow finalist Eoghan Quigg. She was eliminated in the semi final (week 9), much to the shock and upset of Eoghan Quigg, who during Vickers’ final performance, ran on stage to comfort Vickers. She achieved 4th place overall. It was originally announced that Diana would be signed up by Sony BMG under the Syco label but this plan was later dropped.
