If there was ever an unlikeable Big Brother housemate then Sylvia Barrie is her. It’s gutting to realise then that we might not have yet seen the last of her and that she intends to audition for X Factor next year.

Sylvia told The Daily Star:

“I’m not scared of Simon, I’m sure that I can win him over with my voice.

“I’m not worried about the others, either. I’ll just tell Cheryl how much I love Girls Aloud and tell Dannii I think she’s gorgeous.

“Music is my life. It is all I really want to do and if things don’t happen for me in the next few months then I will try out for The X Factor next year.

“Why not? I think I am as good, if not better, than many of the people they have had on the show so far this year.”
