Former X Factor contestant Rachel Adedeji has let her true feelings about her departure slip and admitted that she doesn’t think the show is about talent anymore.

Talking on Red Dragon FM, she said: “I don’t know if X Factor is about talent anymore to be honest – seriously.”

Talking about twins John and Edward Grimes, she added: “They don’t have to be good singers, what the hell.

“Listen, they enjoy what they do and they want to be popstars.”

Rachel is backing Joe McElderry to win. She said: “He’s my favourite. Week after week he’s proper going for it.

“He just wants to do this and is one of the most positive people in the house. I love Joe.”
