She may have been eliminated at the worst possible time during the X Factor, but Misha B is already moving onwards and upwards. 

The axed singer is rumoured to be already in talks with rap superstar Missy Elliot after the two bonded on Twitter.

Just hours after being voted off the ITV series last night, 19-year-old Misha tweeted the Work It hitmaker to thank her for being an inspiration during her time on the show.

And to the singer's surprise, Elliot, 40, replied. 'Thank u SO MUCH I am grateful! & Congratulations to all the SUCCESS that will be coming 2 u! U R talented,' she wrote.

An excited Misha re-tweeted the message, before replying: 'WOW!!! Words Can't Describe How Much It Means To Have Ur Support! Got Me Thinkin...IMAGINE Missy E && Misha B *MUSICALMADNESS*'

The X Factor judges last night predicted big things for the Manchester-born singer, despite her being axed from the competition. 

Many have compared Misha to last year's fourth place Cher Lloyd, who was widely disliked on the show but has gone on to have a number one single.

Indeed, 2010's third place act One Direction are already enormous stars in the UK, and runner-up Rebecca Ferguson has just released her debut single to critical acclaim - while winner Matt Cardle's first album since his X Factor single has failed to make waves.

During her television appearances this morning Miss Bryan appeared far from concerned for her career path post-X Factor, and has already forgiven judges Tulisa and Louis Walsh for 'Bully-gate'.

Speaking on Daybreak, she said: 'Forgiving is the thing that I have done. I believe that in situations that occur in life, you shouldn't get bitter you should just get better.

'Because there's a saying that to forgive is to set a prisoner free, and I realised that prisoner was me. And instead of getting bitter about a situation - because it's only making you not feel good inside.

'And for that situation I'm so grateful because it has been one of the greatest experiences of my life – for me to look at the situation and grow and learn from it. I'm just so grateful.'
