Suicide pacts are obviously becoming all the rage. Just a few weeks ago, X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne revealed that she and husband Ozzy had made a pact that if one of them was struck down by a mentally debilitating disease, they would take themselves off and committ suicide.

Now X Factor reject, Niki Evans has revealed that she and husband Darren have reached the same decision. If one of the pair dies first, the other will committ suicide so they don’t have to be seperated.

Given the fact that Niki and Darren have two young sons, this decision seems kind of selfish to me. The children have already lost two granfathers, a grandmother and an uncle in the last few years, I couldn’t imagine they would want to lose their parents too.
