The Voice’s Rachael O’Connor confesses ‘obsession’ with One Direction ‘bad boy’ Liam Payne

Exclusive: The Voice hopeful Rachael O’Connor wants to be a star to get close to her idols One Direction, she revealed.

But before the boys rush to get a restraining order against the 17-year-old, she has promised she is ‘no stalker’.

‘I am obsessed with 1D,’ said Rachael, of Derry in Northern Ireland.

So how will she react if she meets the boys?

‘I wouldn’t be like “I love you, marry me”,’ she said.

‘I’d act really cool and hopefully they’d want to be my friend.’

It seems she harbours hopes to be most friendly with Liam Payne, 20.

‘He’s become the bad boy. He’s just cool,’ she said.

Rachael’s ‘no wild child’, however. She played good-girl-gone-bad Sandy Olsson in a Grease stage show recently and admitted: ‘I couldn’t strut. It isn’t for me.’
