Diana Vickers has laughed off criticism of her 'claw hand' on The X Factor.

Fans on the internet have mocked the singer for her hand movements while performing, with several Facebook groups - including one called I Want To Pull Diana Vickers' Hand Off And Slap Her With It - proving popular with thousands of users.

But a show source said the blonde singer was instead concentrating on this week's semi-final.

"Diana finds the press she's been getting about her hand funny," the source said. "She is happy with her songs and she wants to give a performance like she was giving at the beginning of the show. She is also looking forward to having a dance routine with one of her songs."

Diana relaxed this week by attending ITV's The Girls Aloud Party on Tuesday night with fellow contestant Alexandra Burke, and she was left starstruck by James Morrison, who waved to her.

Meanwhile, JLS are proving to be a hit with female fans.

"All week, girls have gathered outside The X Factor house to see them and post fan letters through the door," the show source revealed. "The boys certainly have the female vote! Proving they are true gentlemen, they always take the time to talk to all their fans."

Diana, Alexandra, JLS and Eoghan Quigg will all perform one song of their choice on Saturday night's show, with their second song being chosen by the judges. Only one more act will leave the show before next week's final.
