Lucie Jones: Simon and I never clicked on X Factor

X Factor evictee Lucie Jones says she knew she wouldn't survive a sing-off as Simon Cowell didn't understand her.

The 18-year-old, who became the fifth contestant to be knocked out of the competition, said: "We've never really clicked. It's not a personality thing. It's a performance thing."

The Welsh singer added: "When I was against John and Edward and it went to deadlock, I thought: 'There is no way they have the least amount of votes'."

Lucie is now tipping the twins to reach the final.

She said: "I think they're absolutely genius. You just watch their performances and you're filled with glee."

The teenager plans to continue singing and is hopeful of landing a record deal.

And things appear to be looking up for Lucie already, as just days after getting knocked out of the reality show, she has been invited to attend an event alongside Robert Pattinson to launch Twilight sequel, New Moon.
