X Factor singer Amie Buck isn’t quite as sweet as she seems. The ‘shy’ singer messed up her lyrics when auditioning for the show and was seen last Saturday being assisted on stage by Cheryl Cole.

Amie’s friend told The Sun that Amie is lapdancing for a living and even had a boob job to advance her career.

Her pal said:

“It took her from a B cup to a DD.

“Some girls can make up to £1,000 a week. Amie tends to just work weekends. But she is one of the more popular girls.

“She is really good at it and is a big hit with the blokes because she is so pretty – and has a great figure.

“It means she makes quite a bit of money – enough to pay for her boob job.”

Her pal said of Amie’s X Factor audition: “A few people knew she was trying out for X Factor

“But she kept it quiet that she was going to be on the show on Saturday. We’ve no idea how it will affect her chances now it’s come out what she does for a living.

“She should have been honest about what she does when she was on X Factor because it was always going to get out. But everyone is still rooting for her.

“She did fantastic on Saturday, even though her nerves nearly got the better of her.”

The friend added: “She isn’t really known as a singer round Newcastle – she isn’t in an established band or anything.”
