Katie Waissel pens emotional song about marriage breakdown: 'I felt tricked, conned and stupid'

Former 'X Factor' finalist Katie Waissel has opened up about the breakdown of her marriage to male model Brad Alphonso, which ended in divorce after just 2 months, and revealed that the only way to cope with it was to write a song about it.

The 27-year-old beauty penned a track entitled 'I'm Fine' and has now released it onto the Internet for her fans to check out and told the Mail Online that it was a cathartic experience: "I wrote this song because I quite simply didn't know how to express myself in any other way. It was the easiest way to get my emotions out at what has become an absolutely heartbreaking time."

"What is amazing is that this has been a total release for me emotionally. This is how a song should be written. I quite simply went to see my manager Mark and my old engineer James at the Sanctum and ended up at a piano with a microphone where it all came out."

Waissel also gave an exclusive interview to Now magazine, in which she confessed that losing the man she loved almost broke her: "It began to sink in that we were now responsible for each other. The financial situation between us caused a lot of stress too. It was hard for him that I had more money, but paying for things didn't bother me."

"I was humiliated. I'd completely lost the man I loved. I feel tricked, conned and stupid. That's why I've been hiding away - I don't want to face it at the moment. I went through so much crap with The X Factor - it sucked the life out of me. I finally thought i had a clean slate in America. Then this happened. I keep thinking, 'What's wrong with me?'"
