Today I'm going to write about my eventful weekend which of course revolved around *cue the music* The X Factor Tour!
The finalists arrived in Glasgow on Friday 27th February and stayed until Saturday afternoon. On the Friday they arrived, myself and a few friends travelled into the city centre to wait outside their hotel in the hopes of meeting some of our favourite performers; of course it would be Only The Young and Stereo Kicks.
We waited for a few hours in the extremely windy and cold weather until they all arrived and I had the chance to meet the wonderful Fleur East, Lauren Platt, Andrea Faustini and members from both Only The Young and Stereo Kicks. The hotel was very busy so we each only got a few seconds and quick selfie with the acts but nether the less, it was worth the wait.

On the Friday night, my younger sister and I went to the show; our Only The Young banner in hand. We had really good seats (which were on the floor) where we had an excellent view of both the main and centre stage. For me, other than the bands, Fleur was incredible!!! Of course Mr. Ben Haenow was also a star but for me, Fleur stole the show!
Now the eventful part...
Previously in the day my friends and I booked a room in the same hotel as the contestants. Unfortunately half of Glasgow had the same idea. The hotel was filled with at least eighty teenagers and numerous security guards making it their mission to continue to hassle anyone insight. When booking a room, we chose the cheapest option - a twin room for two people - in which five of us planned to sleep in.
To cut a long story short, the security caught us out the second time they questioned us and ordered three 15 year old years to leave the hotel at 12:30am.
HOW SAFE!!!
Fortunately, I found elsewhere to stay and managed to collect a pair of GHD straighteners and two phone chargers in the process.
The next morning I returned to the security infested hotel to hand over what was not mine before waiting again outdoors to see the acts leave for the venue (if would have been rude not to...).
Now I've wrote it all down, it doesn't appear as eventful as it seemed at the time but overall it was good weekend and I am glad I got to spend it with some of my closest friends.
I have posted both a video of Only The Young and Stereo kicks performing on my YouTube channel which you can watch by clicking the links below.
I also posted a vine of a concerned Reece Bibby and I having a conversation which you can watch by clicking here.
Thank you for reading this post and remember, always book a family hotel room for five people!
