Former X Factor finalist, Ben Mills has revealed that he has turned down the chance to appear on this years X Factor show.

Ben said: “I’m still in touch with people who work on X Factor. They have been in touch and said do you wanna come on and do some stuff. But to be totally honest I’m really trying to sidestep anything to do with the X Factor now because I don’t think it’s going to do me any favours.

“Now I really want to concentrate on getting away from it and coming out with the next album. Let everyone concentrate on this year’s X Factor and forget me as someone who was on the X Factor.”
