In what seems more like a desperate attempt to remain in the public conciousness than a malicious act, Rhydian turned off the lights on a live performance by Leon earlier this week.
Fellow X Factor contestant Niki Evans told the Daily Star: “At the end of his performance Rhydian jumps off the stage and runs around the side to make way for Leon.
“But the other night he happened to run around the wrong way and step on a plug which turned all the bloody electrics off.
“He claims it was an accident but whether it was sabotage or not I don’t know.
After the massive success of X Factor 2007, with a very closely fought contest between Rhydian and Leon, we know many of you are desperate to see your favourites on tour. You’ll all be very pleased to hear that extra dates have been added.
