X Factor rejects Kandy Rain have hit out at hopeful Danyl Johnson calling him fake, arrogant & two faced. Though they refused to comment on Danyl when we spoke to them last Monday, it seems they have sold the whole sordid story to The News Of The World.
Azi Jegbefume, told the newspaper: “He is the most fake person in the entire world. He’s really two-faced. He can turn on tears in a flash.”
“He thinks to himself, ‘How will this look if I cry on camera? Will it make me look good?’ That’s how he works,” says Azi.
I’ve interviewed a fair few X Factor contestants over the years. It’s always on the Monday after their elimination and they’re always quite bullish about their post-X Factor singing careers.
Kandy Rain, who were formed well in advance of this year’s X Factor, are in frighteningly good form. All four of the girls are bellowing down the line at me excitedly. These girls are a force of nature – laughing and talking over the top of each other. And they’ve got that weird synergy that when one girl stops talking, another will pick up from where they left off and continue. And spookily, all four frequently say exactly the same thing at the same time.
And that’s where we pick up our interview, with the Kandy Rain girls excitedly screaming hello down the phone lines…
Hello!!! We were sorry to hear that you girls got eliminated on Sunday night’s X Factor. We’d hoped that you’ve get a little father than this in the competition. Did you feel it was unfair that you got eliminated in the first week?
If we’re going based on our performance, then we don’t really feel it was fair. We went out there and gave everything on Saturday night and we felt we put in a really good performance, but due to the press and everything – we’ve had a lot of bad press – so in that respect, it wasn’t much of a shock.

X Factor rejects Kandy Rain have insisted that they had much more planned for their X Factor journey and many more tricks up their sleeves.
“We would have gone all out – we had a lot of tricks up our sleeve but unfortunately you don’t get to see it because you didn’t vote,” said Coco Lloyd told MSN.
Kandy Rain have become the first act to leave the X Factor 2009.
After only one live performance, the girls ended up in the bottom two with Rachel Adedeji. The judges struggled to decide who they wanted to send home and with each act winning two votes each, the show went into deadlock and referred back to the public voting figures.
So it was goodbye to raunchy Kandy Rain and all their lap dancing publicity, yet John and Edward remain!! How did it happen and how do you feel? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below.
On last night’s X Factor the judges seemed very unconcerned with how the acts sang, and more bothered by how they looked or which gender they fancied.
After Kandy Rain gave their performance of ‘Addicted To Love’, Dannii Minogue failed to comment on their singing and instead blasted their outfits. She stated:
X Factor singer, Coco Lloyd has admitted that she was a bit of a naughty schoolgirl when she was younger. The 22 year old, who sings with girlband Kandy Rain, was recorded by a lads mag saying that when she was younger, she had sex with her teacher, in a classroom.
Kandy Rain singer Coco Lloyd was snatched by her dad when she was younger and tracked down by a private detective.
The Sun reports that the former stripper was stolen from her mother Pauline by her father Nicholas at the age of three.
“I left her over Christmas at a beach house he owned in Greece. We spoke on the phone every day. But when I went to pick her up, they had disappeared,” said Pauline.
X Factor hopefuls have defended their mentor Louis Walsh, saying that he doesn’t think they are destined to lose.
Newspaper reports stated that Walsh claimed to have the ‘hardest group’ and no way of winning this year’s show.
However Miss Frank’s Shar Alexandra told the Press Association: “Maybe he’s saying that to surprise the public so everyone thinks he’s not going to win and then there’ll be a dramatic climax and one of us will.”
Edward Grimes said: “You can’t just say ‘I’m going to win the show’ because it puts a lot of pressure on you. You set your expectations so high that your expectations are higher than the actual act.”

The girls all met at a girl group audition 12 months ago when they were chosen to be in a 7 piece band – nothing ever came of this but the four of them remained friends and decided to form their own girl group.
They called themselves Kandy Rain as ‘with candy as much as you love it, you know it’s not good for you and we’re going to rain on everyone’s parade’
