‘X Factor’ hopeful: ‘I beat the bullies’

GirlBand’s Marisa Billitteri hopes the people who bullied her at school watch her performance on this week’s X Factor.

Billitteri said her life has been altered by her success on the reality show because she feels like she has triumphed over the bullies.

“I just feel like the happiest girl on Earth,” she said. “What I went through at school and what’s happening to me now – it’s a complete turnover.

“The bullies, if they’re watching it, that’s such a lush feeling.”

She continued: “If they’re sat watching and think, ‘We bullied that girl, but she’s been strong and gone on and succeeded’ – it’s a lovely feeling.”
