X Factor girl group Hope, have tried to use their feminine wiles on music moghul Simon Cowell, in the hope that he would give them a record deal.
It would seem however, that the girls have overestimated their powers of sexual persuasion, as Mr Cowell to date has refused to be drawn on the future of their career.
“I went to see Simon in his dressing room after the final show to say goodbye to him,” singer Raquelle Gracie told the Daily Star Sunday. “When I was in there I gave him a goodbye kiss and tried to persuade him into signing us up to his label.
“Terri was there as well and unfortunately Simon wasn’t having any of it. He said we would have to wait until after the X Factor tour to see how well we do.” Read more & comment »

“It is rumoured to be appearing on ITV2 and will feature scenes including Calum taking the girl of his choice to meet his mum Angie.”
We know that Calum is renowned for his looks and not his brains, but if he had any sense at all, he would steer well clear of shows like this. Look what happened to Jodie Marsh when she married the man of her reality TV dreams!
