Bookies are predicting that whoever wins X Factor 2006 will be more than likely to get to the number one spot in the singles chart this Christmas.
With stiff competition from releases by Take That, Cliff Richard and also an all female quartet consisting of 16/17 year olds called “All Angels”, the X Factor winner is hotly tipped to follow in Shayne Ward’s footsteps, who won X Factor 2005 and then went on to claim the Christmas number one spot last year.
21- year old Shayne Ward has been flown to Los Angeles to undergo throat surgery to remove nodules from his vocal chords.
Top surgeons who have also operated on Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston in the past are operating on the star and reports say that he will be singing again in around 6 weeks.
Shayne is unable to speak at the moment, but has been keeping in touch with his girlfriend Faye by text.
Brenda Edwards, who as we all remember was the last female standing in last years X Factor, spoke to GMTV this morning about how so much has been happening for herself and all the other X Factor contestants since the last series ended.
Said Brenda “It’s been a year already, there’s been so much happening for me. I’ve been living the dream in the West End in “Chicago” at the Cambridge Theatre.”
She said that she is going to be watching with “eager anticipation to see what happens this year” in X Factor 2006 and said that many contestants seem to audition because they want to meet the judges.
