It’s been reported today that X Factor favourite Lascel Wood starred in a hard core porn film which was uploaded to a website where viewers pay £5 to watch films.
Lascel, who we’ll see on the show again tonight at Boot Camp, denies that he made any money from the film, and suggests that someone else uploaded it without his knowledge.
The Sun states, “It is believed to have been shot using a webcam and shows Lascel lying on his own in the nude before going on to perform a sex act.”
A show source said, “I’m pretty sure Tulisa and the other judges wouldn’t expect Lascel to be involved in anything like this.
“You can clearly see everything. Lascel was only 18 or 19 when he did it last year, but he was desperate to make money.
“It was at a time when he was finding it hard to get a job.
“This has come as a massive shock to everyone on the show. Lascel came across as such an innocent, polite young man who had overcome a very challenging start in life.
“To know he would do this on the internet is mind-blowing.
“He was either seriously strapped for cash or involved in a dark world. The X Factor is family viewing. Many people that have dealt with him are livid.”
In other news, it’s been revealed that at this year’s Boot Camp, dozens of acts were axed before they’d even sung after the judges reviewed their taped auditions.
The Daily Mail states, “The night before the 186 acts were due to take to the stage to perform for judges Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos, Kelly Rowland and Louis Walsh, the panel once again looked over tapes of the contestants’ first auditions and made the decision to send nearly 40 of the hopeful acts home.”
While discussing the decision, Gary said, “We have seen hundreds of people; I think there are some people that don’t deserve to be here. It’s time to get serious.
“We saw hundreds of people and now we have the measure of where the best are and where the worst are. I think we need to get rid of a lot of people.”
Tulisa added, “Looking back, when you’re on the panel and you’ve got all these people on that stage, you kind of get lost in the moment…yes they are a great person, they’ve got a great voice, but great isn’t good enough, these people have to be stars, they have to be amazing.”
Kelly said, “I just want to make sure that we get the best people.”
And Louis concluded, “This is going to be the toughest most brutal bootcamp in X Factor history.”
The next day, the judges split the acts into four groups, and Kelly told them, “Last night while you guys were out enjoying yourselves, we decided to take a look back at your auditions.
“We reviewed them all on tape, there are some incredibly talented people standing before us, the bar is set extremely high this year.
“We only want to work with people we truly believe can go all the way…if you are in the group to the far left, we believe you have potential and you’re staying in the competition.”
Gary added, “Guys, we have had a chance now to review everything, we don’t believe that everybody standing here today actually has the chance to make it.
“It’s been a really tough decision but some of you are going to be going home right now.
“The group to the left of centre here, I’m so sorry guys, your all going home, to everyone else, we really look forward to working with you this week, see you soon.”
The remaining hopefuls were then set the first challenge of Boot Camp and were divided into 30 groups and given a a signature track from six of the biggest artists in the business.
But which of the contestants impressed the judges enough to make it through to the next stage of the competition, Judges’ Houses, and which will be going home?
Find out on the X Factor on ITV1 tonight at 8pm and Sunday night at 7.30pm.
