The News Of The World have today released video footage that would imply that both Eton Road and Ray Quinn cheated their way onto the X Factor stage.

The News Of The World reports:

Our sensational shots show the boys auditioning for a showbiz agency in Liverpool just weeks before they appeared on the ITV1 show.

The footage confirms BOTH acts were put together by professional management and entered into the talent hunt in a cynical attempt to fast-track them to stardom.

The tape, in possession of the News of the World, also reveals that scouts experimented with including Ray as a member of the band before choosing to enter him as a solo artist.

X Factor rules strictly forbid contestants to have any management. Last month boyband Avenue were kicked off after it was discovered that they were put together by an agent.

But judging by these shocking pictures Ray, 18, and Eton Road are every bit as GUILTY.

The video does seem convincing, and if the story is true what does this mean for ray and Eton Road. Is it too late for them to be disqualified or will mentors Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh be able to turn a blind eye…..
