CARRIE LYELL CHATS TO SINGING SENSATION SAARA AALTO ABOUT HER TIME ON THE REALITY TV SHOW AND LIFE AFTER THE X FACTOR
Saara Aalto might have narrowly missed out on being crowned the winner of this year’s X Factor, pipped to the post by Matt Terry, but she has definitely made a place for herself in the show’s history books. Not only is Aalto the first contestant to make the final after being in the bottom two twice, she’s also the most successful female LGBT contestant in the show’s 13 years. “It feels incredible,” the singing sensation tells DIVA when we chat to her just days before the final. “It’s crazy that a girl like me can break records.”
