Speaking at a press conference today, X Factor evictee Beverley Trotman has revealed that she will do “anything” to keep her dreams alive.
Bev vowed to keep singing and performing saying:
“I don’t know what the path will be, but what I will say is I’m ready to do anything. I feel I’ve really grown in this competition.
“I’ve got a lot to offer and the theatre is one option, maybe a record deal is another option, but these are all things that I’m happy to look at.”
I hope she gets the offers she is looking for, but if not at least she can count on her teaching job. In that way she is luckier than most.

X Factor contestants are said to be fuming with the shows bosses, as they believe that girl group Hope is getting preferential treatment.
An insider told the Daily Star Sunday: “It seemed as if their mentor Simon Cowell was pulling strings to try and keep them in.
“It could be that – because there are five of them – they need the extra rehearsal time. But the general feeling is that each act should be treated the same, regardless of the number of members. The ‘favouritism’ certainly ruffled a few feathers with the other contestants.”
About the show’s result last night the source said: “Beverley has impressed everyone but it was still Hope who stayed. Questions will be asked. It was the opportunity to get rid of them once and for all.”

Love was in the air last night on The X Factor as the six remaining acts blasted out their power ballards in a bid to impress the Judges, and the viewing public. In a nail biting Results Show, Hope and primary school teacher Beverely Trottman went head to head in the sing off, only for Beverley to lose out when the Judges reached a deadlock.
Sharon explained her reason to let the vote go to a deadlock last night, “It took a lot of thinking tonight. Both acts are so different and both talented in their own ways. Hope represents the youth and Beverely, I think, is like the next Jennifer Hudson. So Ii could not call it so it was like, let the public decide.”
To be honest I think Sharon made the right decision. Both acts have been in the bottom teo before, and neither are able to win the show. It was only fair to gauge what the public support for the acts were. Hope may have survived another week, but it’s now only a matter of time before they leave…..
