Another ‘Actor’ posing as contestant.
It has emerged in an interview with the Daily Mirror that Justin/e the drag queen from the X Factor is actually an actor trying to promote his comedy act. This revelation came as no surprise to the shows producers who say they knew he was an an actor but he was not paid to audition.
Well that makes it ok then! Between him and Makosi, who was also outed as being an actress that was fast tracked through Big Brother auditions, it makes you wonder if there are any authentic contestants left on these shows.
I imagine that poor Justin will be disappointed though, he may be this weeks flash in the pan but by Christmas no one will remeber his name!

Actors and singers are people too! I’d rather watch someone entertaining and talented than a dull-as-dishwater dancer (reference to Anthony Hutton fully intended!)

Hello im Justin[e] Watson Hermes the FARMER in drag act on X FACTOR.You print these stories with out consulting the actual person for the full facts.Firstly i am a dairy farmer always have been still am and no intention of giving that side of my life up in any case.I trained to be an actor as a way of diversification when i was 48 as there is certainly no money in farming anymore with the long hours.Acting is a difficult business to bein as well.I went on the X FACTOR just to be seen as myself .Louie Walshes comments about the drag was like pennies from heaven.I took them at their word and came back 2 days later.Id never worn a dress for 10 years before that day [everything was bought in Manchester the day before[it cost me nearly 400 quid actually].I got off my arse created a comedy character for the next audition.To be honest i never expected to get through but was just hoping to make a fool of them.By the offers im getting for when the show is finished i dont think ill be a one horse winner. Im just an eccentric older person still chasing dreams like all the other 75000 that applied to go on the show.I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.Please dont put me down for trying.Thanks for seeing my side of all this.Any other info im quite happy to give if you require any.
All the best JUSTIN[E] WATSON -HERMES
