Right, so the tea boy won't be on tv anymore. That's step 1. Now to prevent him doing anything to fuck music up more than he already has.
I know a man who taught his dog to play the trumpet on the London Underground.
He went from Barking to Tooting in an hour.

Watching X-Factor was our Saturday's guilty secret.

If his telly appearances are an accurate reflection of his personality, I'm not sure his family will be too delighted at the switch

He's only to blame for providing idiots with what they want, or rather what they believe they want and believe they have wanted for years, decades even.
That's contemporary pop music for you, it's throwaway crap, and has been since "pop" was invented.
Odd thing, ain't it... you meet people one at a time, they seem decent, they got brains that work, and then they get together and you hear the voice of the people. And it snarls.

To get on the show the contestants had to have a lip-trembling, heart-wrenching back story, usually a grandparent who wanted to see their grandchild succeed on X-Factor but <sniff> died unexpectedly and tragically and the contestant wanted to do it for gran/granddad.

With X-Factor now gone, grandparents across the land will feel just that little bit safer...

Yes.
I've noticed the "dead/dying granny" stories creeping into Strictly.
Stop it!
A wanker AND a pansy apparently.
Oh, and a wimp, and 'not a real man'.
