SAARA Aalto has revealed she is too busy to walk down aisle following her X Factor run as she is still chasing her dream record contract.

The singer became engaged to Meri Sopanen in August, but the couple don't have time to tie the knot now the show is over.

The Finnish star came second in the TV talent show this weekend, losing out to winner Matt Terry.

She was supported by her loyal fiancee Meri throughout the run, but Saara has now admitted she still doesn't have time to organise their wedding.

The singer has yet to secure a record contract, and is spending all her time in meetings with industry bosses instead of planning her big day.

She told The Sun Online exclusively at The Sun's Millies: "[The wedding] is somewhere in the future not right now, we have some other things to do first...

"I've had so many meetings but it's only been two days so it's all very confusing at the moment but we've had very good meetings and very good plans."

When asked why she has yet to sign a deal with a top label, Saara explained the process may have to be put on hold until the New Year.

She also revealed she is trailing behind X Factor rapper Honey G, who already has a deal, because the aspiring hip-hop star had a head start as she was booted off the show weeks earlier.

Saara added: "Honey G went from the competition a few weeks ago so they had time to do that and its only been two days for me.

"It takes time. After New Year we can see."
