The winner of The X Factor 2005, Steve Brookstein has commented this week that he is not a big fan of Shayne Wards music.

He seems like a nice guy and he works hard,” Steve explained. “I’m not a fan of the music – but then again, Shayne’s only young so he doesn’t know what he wants, so he’s just going along with the ride.

“Sooner or later he might develop into a serious artist, but right now he’s just pop.”

Brookstein also criticised The X Factor once again, claiming that the public are throwing away their cash by voting for the show.

“It’s a shame people vote so much and waste their money,” he said. “It’s all kind of a… bit of a scam.”

That shade of green just doesn’t suit you Steve!
