She might be the sweet and butter-wouldn’t-melt pop star on stage.

But once the lights have gone down and the audience has gone home, Katie Waissel is just a rock chick at heart.

And no true party girl would be without a DJ on her arm and an obligatory bottle of Jack Daniels – and a pizza.

Rock ‘n’ roll queen: Katie Waissel heads out in Liverpool for the night clutching a pizza box and her DJ friend’s hand as he sips from a bottle of Jack Daniels

Katie, 24, was snapped in the small hours of the morning arriving back at her hotel in Liverpool with DJ James Massing, an old family friend, after a night at the city’s Bumper nightclub.

And although it is unclear whether the pair are an item, they clutched each other’s hands as they walked past the cameras and into the hotel.

James is a dance music DJ and producer who also DJs at private parties for celebrities such as Tinie Tempah and Pixie Lott and was believed to have been playing at the Bumper club last night.

Katie is in Liverpool on tour with her fellow X Factor finalists as they play three nights at the Echo Arena.

They play there tonight and tomorrow before heading on to Manchester this weekend for two dates at the MEN Arena.

But last night, Katie decided to let her hair down with a night on the tiles at the live music venue.

And
partying is not just thirsty work that requires a large bottle of
bourbon, but she was also feeling peckish as she carried a pizza box
back to her hotel.

Vision in blue: Katie sat crossed legged on the stage as she wowed the Liverpool fans with a ballad during last night’s gig

And earlier in the evening, she took to her Twitter page and wrote: ‘At bumper with the gorgeous @djjamesmassing rock on Liverpool!!’

Katie is joined on the tour by Rebecca Ferguson, Mary Byrne, One Direction, Wagner, Paige Richardson and winner Matt Cardle.

They are touring for another month and will also play in Glasgow, Nottingham and Brighton before wrapping it up in Cardiff.
