X Factor finalist, Rachel Hylton, has hit out at claims that she was taking illegal drugs at the recent X Factor bootcamp.

Some newspapers claimed that Hylton had been taking cannabis with the other auditionees and was in for a serious talking to from the shows producers.

Rachel denied the claims and told The Sun: “A lot of people are putting lies out there about me doing drugs and bullying people on the show. They’re not true.”

Rachel thinks that people are trying to break her temper and provoke a reaction by making these claims. She added:

“People are trying to provoke a reaction.

“They’ll be waiting a long time.”
