X Factor: Did Rachel Hylton Take Drugs At Bootcamp?
X Factor finalist, Rachel Hylton is to face questioning from X Factor producers this week after allegations that she took illegal drugs at bootcamp.
The People reported that Rachel smoked cannabis whilst staying at a London hotel with other X Factor bootcampers.
“This is the last thing Simon or the other judges will be expecting to hear,” an insider told the newspaper. “In August, when Rachel admitted her horrific teen life of drug addiction, crime and under-age sex, she said that it was all in the past and that she had turned over a new leaf.
“Simon thought she deserved a second chance and told everyone ‘If someone says they’ve done things they regret, you have to give them a second chance’. But if these claims are founded, who knows what he’ll think or what will happen. She may even be forced off the show.”
An X Factor spokeswoman said: “Producers are unaware of the drug allegations but will speak to Rachel about them this week.”

Yes,she should win. Because what every ex drug addict needs is to be handed a £1 million record contract and thrown into an environment where drugs are rife.

Well ive heard she has robbed houses, robbed people and got her kids taken away. My gran got burgled recently and she is so scared. Rachel has to learn that fame and sucsess doesnt normally come to ex/ drug users. I really dont like her and i hope she gets her sucsess due to hard work and time like the rest of us. Why should i give her chance when she didnt, when she beat up her innocent victims lives. I wonder what she will do wen she gets the money… buy more drugs perhaps.

I think she should go, she looked off her head on saturday, she has a horrible personality why should she have all that money to waste on drugs she will be so busy what,s about her children who will look after them? what,s about her other kids, I thought she looked like a lush on saturday staggering about with eyes like two black holes. I dont think people will keep her in she,s horrible.

Im not just sayimg this to be mena but i actually do not like her voice. I also disagree with Simon as he dai that she ‘deserves the 2nd chance. Deserving a second chance because she chose to take drugs and make other people’s lives hell??
it doesnt make sense

I am just a mum of 2, no body special, i cant sing or dance, but i feel i must say that it is great she is off the drugs, there but for the grace of god goe i. I think she is a really HARD person and i for 1 would not like to meet her. She has an amazing voice no body can deny that but she will never be a roll model for us or our kids, sad but true! Shame as i love to see someone make good, but i think it will be the end of her. Alexander deserves to win, she is such a nice person, along with being the most fantastic singer and it will not go to her head. She has been through it with her mum!!! Soul to Soul great group in our time despite they are no longer……
