Misha B's 'guardian angel' Kelly

Misha B is certain she will stay in touch with her 'X Factor' mentor Kelly Rowland, who she says has been like a ''guardian angel'' to her.

Misha B thought of Kelly Rowland as her "guardian angel" throughout her 'X Factor' experience.

The 19-year-old singer - who was axed from the ITV1 show on Sunday (04.12.11) after receiving the lowest public vote - was mentored by the 'Down For Whatever' hitmaker during her time in the competition, and she thought of her as a big sister.

She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "Kelly is like my sister, I'm positive that we'll stay in touch. She was not just a mentor, she was a lot more than that. She was like my guardian angel and an inspiration to me in so many different ways."

Following her exit from the show, Misha has tipped either Little Mix or Marcus Collins to overcome Amelia Lily and win the competition on Sunday night (11.12.11).

She added: "I want Little Mix or Marcus to win it. I think there's a void in the market that I believe Little Mix can fill. There's no other girl band out there that's like them, I think it's definitely their time. They are very unique.

"I like Marcus because I feel the industry needs someone like him. He's brought back old school songs and made them new. Both of them and Amelia will go on to be great afterwards, though."
