X Factor's Tamera On Sam Callahan Romance Rumours
Plus, ex contestant Rebecca Ferguson says Tamera "needs guidance"...
X Factor hopeful Tamera Foster has played down rumours of a romance between her and fellow star Sam Callahan, insisting "there's nothing going on".
Speaking to new! magazine, the 16-year-old beauty revealed: "There's a lot of focus on me and Sam, but there's nothing going on."
She continued: "I've just come out of a long relationship, so looking at anybody else is not in my books right now."
Callahan was [uuid=9362201d-b202-44a5-bb3a-9f4c71e37d4f]eliminated from the show[/uuid] over the weekend, but it appears the 17-year-old hunk has left a lasting impression on Tamera.
The singer added: "I'm very close to Sam. He is such a positive person and it's really nice to have someone there with such a good vibe, because the competition does get very stressful.
"I look up to Sam. No matter what gets thrown at him with all the bad comments, he has a good mindset."
Meanwhile former X Factor star Rebecca Ferguson has praised Tamera's "star quality" but insists she still "needs guidance".
The 27-year-old told Digital Spy this week: "I don't feel like I know her yet."
The I Hope singer added: "She's got so much potential. But she needs the right team around her to keep her grounded and develop her."
"She's still so young - imagine how amazing she could be in ten years' time!"
