Yipes! Things are hotting up in the Chico camp, aren’t they?

News that Chico’s loins have been hard at work producing Baby Chico was a shocker, but then I found out Chico Timehad actually got to number one in the UK charts this week! I don’t know whether to laugh or cry!

In all honesty, I’m pleased for the guy. When I spoke to Justin Watson-Hermes after the X-Factor auditions he told me that despite appearances, Chico is a genuinely warm and nice guy and that he went out of his way to take care of the other contestants. I think everybody saw that toward the end of X-Factor.

Yes, he’s a bit of a camera hog(!) and no, he’s not a great singer, but he’s got charisma enough to warm even Simon Cowell’s cold cold heart! So go on Chico! Make the most of your time at the top!

(BTW: Chico’s official website is now online, complete with the obligatory fan forum! Have fun!)
