X Factor finalists get £100,000 for tour
The final eight X Factor acts are reportedly set to earn £100,000 on this year’s live tour, proving that it is worthwhile to enter the X Factor, even if you have no chance of winning.
The Sun reports that half of the money is made up from pay cheques and the other half from bonuses and an unnamed finalist from last year said: “The tour is the most lucrative part of being on the show. Even if you don’t win, it can set you up for life.”
An X Factor spokeswoman said: “We do not discuss any financial details of contracts for the tour.”
