Hi Elvis :-)...Have to disagree with you there..it was like Stephen Gately,the press were gonna run the story,so he beat them to it...shame it had to be a story though.
After someone wins X-Factor these days, there is less and less interest in them. So in order to get in the papers again, albeit briefly, they release this 'shock' news. It's like a final tactic before he's dropped from the record company and a new one-hit wonder comes along.
Career move? Surely a better career move would have been boasting about the number of girls he had bedded or being photographed falling out of nightclubs,drunk, with different ladies on his arm rather than coming out as a 19 year old gay virgin? Isn't a polite, personable and tuneful gay guy preferable to an arrogant and raucous straight one?
My god, thats..............amazing, I now stand more of a chance than you ladies. Ha, in your face, i'm gonna go and bag me an x-factor winner and get my Celebrity Wings!!
