X FACTOR wannabe Talia Dean has a famous fan already – after Queen’s Brian May bailed her out of her debt.
According to the Sunday People, the We Will Rock You music legend met the youngster at a London studio back in 2015 when she was trying to launch her band, Talia and the Lips.
After being impressed by her work, the kind-hearted musician ended up paying for her studio fees when she couldn’t fork out the cash.
Befriending the icon over the course of her time in the studio, the West London mum was reportedly given advice by Brian, who in turn has kept track of her progress ever since.
Brian then ensured that her money worries would be a thing of the past and forked out what is thought to be several hundred pounds to keep her in good stead.
A source told the paper: “Talia couldn’t believe a superstar like him was giving her so much of his time.
“When she told him she couldn’t pay the studio fees she could not believe it when he wrote a cheque to clear the debt.”
Talia now looks more set than ever to make her musical dreams a reality after getting through to the next round of bootcamp on tonight’s episode of the show.
The 32-year-old left a lasting impression on Simon Cowell and the rest of the judges panel after wowing them in her initial audition with a performance of I Put A Spell on You by Nina Simon.
She then joked that Simon was “the worst celebrity that she’d worked with” after meeting him briefly while she worked at an airport.
However, she went on to add how Simon gets ushered through a private terminal when he uses the airport and hasn't needed her services.
Speaking to Nicole, Talia said: "You don’t recognise me do you? You told me to go for this and I’m here because of you."
She continued to Sharon: "And because I’ve carried your bags as well and you told me to go to this and I’m here today."
Mrs O asked: "Was I mean?"
"You were never mean. And neither were you [Nicole]," said Talia. You were so polite to me and I've had photos with you in my uniform."
Following a powerful rendition of the soulful classic, Simon gushed: "Oh my God Talia that was amazing. Was it perfect? No. Is it ever perfect? No. But I really like you.
Sharon added: "You just put it right there on the stage, your heart, your soul and everything."
