LAURA White dazzled Christmas shoppers at the Trafford Centre on Friday night.

The X Factor finalist, who prompted an outcry when she was voted off the show three weeks ago, joined shoppers in a Christmas charity sing-a-long at Selfridges.

Laura, from Atherton, was taking part to help raise funds for the Make-a-Wish foundation, which grants magical wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening illnesses.

The soul singer will rejoin the X Factor finalists on tour early next year. The 21-year-old is then hoping to sign a recording deal.
