Big Brother star Stephanie McMichael impresses on The X Factor as part of duo Poisonous Twin
There has been a LOT of reality TV crossover this year, with Lorna Bliss moving from Britain’s Got Talent to The X Factor and Louis Smith moving from The X Factor to Strictly Come Dancing and on tomorrow night’s episode of the ITV talent show the pattern will continue.
Stephanie McMichael was last seen on Big Brother in 2008, when she resided in the famous house as a fully fledged housemate and also once appeared on ITV’s Pop Stars: The Rivals alongside former X Factor judge Cheryl Cole.
Tomorrow night she will be seen making yet another attempt at finding fame, as she tries out for The X Factor as part of female duo Poisonous Twin.
Stephanie was only 13 years old when she appeared on Popstars and later auditioned for Cheryl Cole back in 2010, as part of girl group LiverBirds.
This weekend Steph’s tryout with her pal and new bandmate Sophie Houghton will air on ITV2′s Xtra Factor, as the pair are featured trying their best to impress Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos and Louis Walsh.
It seems that the ladies enjoyed their extra filming for the spinoff show too as they tweeted this week, writing:
‘Yeah Caroline is soooo nice!! we really liked her.. she’s a cool girl! #xtra #TheXFactor’
They added:
‘the competition was SO tough they were all so so good!! x’
Stephanie later tweeted from her personal account saying:
‘Hey guys can u please all follow @poisonoustwin and look out for them on #TheXFactor !!!’
At their audition the ladies sang Lady Gaga’s Telephone and though Tulisa wasn’t a fan and thought it was all fun and no talent, the other three judges loved the performance and the girls won three yeses and a place in bootcamp.
Check out who is joining them in the next round and read our list of contestants through to bootcamp here.
The Xtra Factor airs on ITV2 at 9:10PM on Saturday night.

oh my god …. i loved steph in Big Brother she was so good … i can’t wait to see her again in this band
so excited
Really annoyed at the xfactor, my husband & I were at the Glasgow auditions, there were loads of great singers yet only a handful were shown on any of the episodes! Plus Glasgow was shown a couple of times yet London, Manchester were shown the most! Also they concentrate on the shitty singers who get most of the air time. Now I’m sure that if I had auditioned and got through to bootcamp, but wasn’t shown on the auditions I’d be pretty annoyed! I won’t be watching it again!!!
Check out Poisonous Twin on their youtube channel they sound so much better..
just type in poisonous twin into youtube!!
It is a shame that someone spends 6 months of their life being lead on thinking that at least they will get promotion, then hardly being shown on TV. Either let them through or don’t. I know Xfactor has little to do with music scene and all to do with TV, but there is a certain moral obligation to all of the hopefuls..
These guys got through all the way to judges houses yet was only aired at xtrafactor. Not on!
