Another day, another PR churning X Factor story "leaked" to the press. Only another ten weeks of such stories to go, super.
Today's story entails a hairy man, a seriously anal vocal coach (he did teach JLS's Ortise how to sing... How do I know this? Well, it's in the new X Factor rag 'X Magazine' - 'cause every form of media needs to be saturated with this shizzle), and a can of deodorant. I'll now hand you over to The Sun for a clam breakdown of (alleged) events:
"Soul singer John, 30, flipped when his rival paraded through the house squirting the anti-pong spray - accusing Wagner of trying to damage his vocal cords. The retired PE teacher, 54, blasted back that John was acting like a 'diva', ordering him to 'back off and act like a man'. As the two screamed 'nose to nose' over breakfast, housemates including (who else but) fragile Cher Lloyd, 17, cowered in fear. A source said: 'John insisted the fumes were ruining his vocals cords and was convinced Wagner was doing it deliberately. He snapped and had it out with him. Everyone was really worried as they're quite big blokes to be facing off like that... It woke some people up and some of the younger people like Cher were quite scared. Security came in and calmed everything down, but there is some serious bad blood.' Bosses are increasingly worried that cooped conditions in the North London house, currently being shared by 14 acts, will lead to more contestants turning on each other. The Sun revealed on Monday how Cher, Katie Waissel, Treyc Cohen and Rebecca Ferguson have also been bickering (which isn't at all clichéd). A source from the ITV1 hit said: 'This year's house is bigger than ever but the fact is, lots of people who may have very little in common are in each other's pockets. The row between Wagner and John is typical. Wagner is a very big character who loves marching round showing off while John is way more quiet. Two more different people you couldn't hope to meet.'" Nor would I want to (that mostly refers to Wagner, all sweaty post PE lesson... he seems a little grabby)
And, just for an additional soupcon of dramatic effect, The Sun ended the article with: "Guards now patrol the mansion day and night to keep the peace."
Dun DUN DUUUUNNN!!!!
