X Factor finalist, Rhydian Roberts has blasted the staff and production team behind the show, saying that “No one gives a s*** about us.”

Talking to The Daily Star Rhydian, 24, blasted the production team saying: “Throughout the week all people care about is that they are making a television show. They treat us like absolute s***.

“It doesn’t seem to matter that we are all here because we are passionate about music. All they want is footage and drama to fill their show. This show is not all it’s cracked up to be.”

He is especially upset as instead of getting time to concentrate on his music, he is having to record comedy sketches for ITV2’s The Xtra Factor.

He commented: “We were up at 6am to record this stupid thing called X in the City, for Xtra Factor. It’s completely s*** and not what I signed up to do.”
