“I never, ever expected to be able to do an album with anybody, let alone on my own. I just wanted to be able to earn my living as a singer in whatever way. So I’m completely blown away.”

X Factor: Beverley Trotman Brings A Tear To Dermot O’Leary’s Eye!

In tonight’s X factor bootcamp show, 38 year old primary school teacher Beverley Trotman, manages to bring out the soft side of Dermot O’Leary!

As Beverley explains why she is here, her emotional story has Dermot in tears. “If I can be that little bit of inspiration for them, on that stage, children who think that they are nothing, children whose parents who haven’t been there for them or maybe children who’ve had both parents. For them to see me try my best , to put everything into it – that’s more than enough for me”.

But it’s not enough for Mr Nasty himself, Simon Cowell, who tells Beverley that he wouldn’t have chosen that song… will Dermot and Beverley be in tears again?

Jamelia Calls Leona Lewis “Poor Man’s Mariah”

Bitchy singer, Jamelia, has once again turned her vapid tongue to X Factor winner Leona Lewis in her latest attack.

She told The Sun: “When Simon stops all this stupid hype about her, that’s when we’ll see if she can deliver. Like every artist Simon has, she’ll fade into obscurity eventually.”

Jamelia added: “Only Will Young has been successful, and that was because he’s talented and cut ties with Simon. Leona is a poor man’s Mariah Carey.

“Simon’s lost it. He is disrespectful. Leona may be talented, but she’s not worked as hard as me or others in the industry - fact!”
