Jake Quickenden and Adam Burridge say Robbie Hance was a ‘knobhead’ at X Factor 2012 bootcamp!
Robbie Hance was apparently a bit of a trouble maker at X Factor bootcamp, it has been reported.
The homeless singer was featured on Saturday’s episode of the ITV show and was seen impressing the panel with his impassioned rendition of Damien Rice’s ‘Coconut Skins’. The judges raved about his talent but seemed more focussed on the fact that he was homeless at the time and living on the streets of London.
After his performance Louis Walsh said:
‘Robbie I think you are a very talented guy but I don’t think you have had a break in life and I think you absolutely deserve that.’
The judges all voted yes and sent Robbie through to bootcamp but apparently things didn’t go too smoothly when he got there.
During one part of the process, he was grouped with fellow hopefuls Jake Quickenden and Adam Burridge and the trio were told to prepare a song to sing for the panel.
However in scenes to be aired on this Saturday’s show, while Adam and Jake practiced and rehearsed, Robbie decided he’d rather have a kip and he slept on a sofa backstage.
Jake wasn’t amused and has since told The Daily Star: “We started noticing weird things and we started thinking he might be a bit of a loose cannon.”
Adam didn’t enjoy working with him either and blasted the singer calling him a ‘knobhead’ and adding:
“He was a bit paranoid and he was a bit rude to a few people.”
The lack of rehearsal time showed in the trio’s performance and Gary Barlow slated their song, resulting in Robbie storming off the stage and out of bootcamp.
It has been claimed that staff have not seen him since.
Meanwhile, as we prepare for the bootcamp and judges houses episodes of the show to air over the next two weekends, Unreality TV have put together out predictions for his year’s X Factor final 24. Have a look and tell us if you agree!

They are all average singers anyway
You would think Jake Quickenden and Adam Burridge would be pleased if Robbie messed up, surely that can only show them in a better light? … Unless of course they are worried he is potentially so much better than them?
There was no need for their comments, it sounded kinda bitchy to me. Are these grown men or schoolgirls?
I see Adam Burridge has already played in concerts alongside Bob Dylan, Damien Rice and The Stranglers. I guess as he is an unsigned musician, he is eligible to enter X factor, but he needs to show a little empathy and compassion for other contestants that might not be in such a fortunate position as himself.
Robbie Hance may have been sleeping on a sofa, but it is possibly the most comfortable place he has rested his head in a long, long, time.
Get over yourself, Adam Burridge, you are far too smug. Robbie Hance TO WIN!
i felt bad for him, theres no need for that other guy to put the boot in.
