Former X Factor contestant Rowetta Satchell has claimed that her former mentor, Simon Cowell should be knighted.
“If he’s not a billionaire, he should be. But I think he’s giving something back and I think he should be a Sir. I do really think so, seriously,” she told The Guardian. “Services to TV, music, everything. He brought back something. Music was ageist until he came along. Pop Idol stopped at 25, you couldn’t form a girlband after 25 – there was nothing out there.
Former X Factor contestant Rowetta Satchell has admitted that most of the time she was on our screens she was out of her mind drunk.
Rowetta starred in the first series of the ITV show back in 2004 and admitted that the stress of placing herself in such a pressurised environment ended up with her drinking at least a bottle of whiskey a day.
Rowetta, 42, told The Sun: “I didn’t know what X Factor was going to be. It was the first series and the first show where there was no age limit so I went for it. I was so nervous waiting for my audition, I drank for four hours, so I was a mess. I don’t remember anything — all I know is that I really made a fool of myself.”
