Goodbye, personally you will not be missed.

[Smithy]

Good bye

[Vanessa]

I think he has been signed already.

[Marsh.]

He can probably earn more money from working as a James Corden look-a-like.

[Daniel-X]

Sléééé

[Vanessa]

They should bring back Ollie. We need some eye candy on the show :nono::hehe:

[Ross.]

My prayers have been answered :clap1:

Monica love you're next

Papasidero needs to replace him

[Marsh.]

Probably got an ego boost from that awful audience shouting for his return.

Following the news that Tom Bleasby has withdrawn from The X Factor, the star has revealed he never felt "vocally ready" to progress further in the competition.

During our exclusive interview with Tom, the 19-year old also praises mentor Nick Grimshaw, as well as confessing who he's now backing for X Factor glory.

Check out our full interview below...
Tom – we’re sorry to hear about your departure from the The X Factor, it must have been a difficult decision to make?

It was a tough decision; I think I really discovered it at the 6 Chair Challenge. I just don’t know if I felt vocally ready to take on the competition and the pressure. I’m quite a relatively new singer, back in March, I was singing in my bedroom, so I’ve never took to live performing very well. I’m still discovering myself and in the competition, there are some amazing singers and I feel like I need more time to get better myself, as I don’t feel like I’m strong enough.

Moving forward, without being 100% would have been selfish on my part because I would have stopped someone else who was at 100% vocally from going further in the competition. Hopefully given time, I could get there with more time to grow artistically and vocally.

What was it like having Nick Grimshaw as a mentor?

Nick was incredible, he was so supportive and for him to give me a chair was a huge boost of faith. It was just an amazing feeling but I was still having the doubts about myself and I didn’t want to be in the competition when I was having those doubts because I would have just sunk. Nick is a fantastic mentor and I really want to thank him for all his support.

Seeing as the public were such strong supporters of you during the 6 Chair Challenge, do you have a message for your fans?

I want to thank everybody who did support me, the entire audience at the 6 Chair Challenge, all the people all over Britain who were watching the 6 Chair Challenge at home and sending me kind messages of support. I want to thank them and I want them to know it’s not the end. Fingers crossed, I’ve got to work on myself and find where I really want to go and and get stronger and stronger and I hope they will follow me.

What has been your personal highlight through this whole process?

My highlight was definitely my first audition when Rita and Nick gave me a standing ovation in front of the whole of Wembley Arena. That was the highlight of my career so far, that was like the first validation that I’d had. It was a beautiful moment.

Who are you backing now you’ve decided to withdraw from the competition?

I’m rooting for Ché (Chesterman) and Josh Daniel. They are both really genuine people, really great and their talent speaks for themselves – they’ve got incredible voices.

What does the future hold for you?

For me right now, I’m just going to be exploring different avenues, seeing where I want to take myself musically, maybe try writing a few songs – see what happens. Nothing is set in stone, but I had to make this decision, it was a hard decision but it had to be done. I had to follow what I believed in. I had to follow my heart.

Final thoughts?

This isn’t the end, it’s just a new beginning. It just wasn’t right for me at this time. Things change and I really appreciate the opportunity from The X Factor – it was a really big deal and the fact that I was able to come on the show and sing, it was an incredible experience.

So he bottled it then. He knew he wasn't good enough to get through so tried to save face.

[Tom4784]

He'll get what he wanted from it though, a flop Mother's day album and a permanent residence at a Butlin's resort.

Now we just need the rest to follow - Perfect :cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

[Liam-]

IF they replace him, surely it'll be with the guy who's seat he took?

[Marsh.]

They could fit another two seats without Tom. :hehe:

[JoshBB]

Papasidero needs to replace him

[2]

[Lostie!]

If anyone comes back it should rightfully be Nathaniel, he's the one who lost his seat when Nick decided to bring Tom back.

[Mystic Mock]

Papasidero needs to replace him

No The X Factor UK needs to stop with the gimmicks.

[Strictly Jake]

Ollie will probably replace him. Although it would be amazing if somehow they allow charli beard to join the boys category just because she deserves a spot

[Vanessa]

Ollie is great. :lovedup:

[Liam-]

Ollie is ****

[Firewire]

good he was boring

[Glenn.]

Great news

[JoshBB]

No The X Factor UK needs to stop with the gimmicks.

Papsidero isn't 'gimmicks' omg

hes actually pretty good

[Liam-]

Papsidero isn't 'gimmicks' omg

hes actually pretty good

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with Mock, Papsidero is the last thing this show needs, he's awful, not even because he's a full on walking gimmick.

[Ross.]

Papsidero was lovely not here for this hate

[LukeB]

Papsidero isn't 'gimmicks' omg

hes actually pretty good

He is but X factor is an entertainment show as well as a talent show, The show needs those types of people to make it interesting.. not like they are ever going to win so who really cares

[Lostie!]

I mean let's be honest, it's highly likely to be Ollie if there's a returnee (but again, Nathaniel is the fair choice).

[JoshBB]

I mean let's be honest, it's highly likely to be Ollie if there's a returnee (but again, Nathaniel is the fair choice).

I want it to be Nathanael if Papasidero isn't picked.

[Liam-]

Of course it'll be Ollie, they wouldn't not give the pretty boy a shot honestly

[Vanessa]

I mean let's be honest, it's highly likely to be Ollie if there's a returnee (but again, Nathaniel is the fair choice).

I think Ollie would be good on the live shows.

[JoshBB]

I think Ollie would be good on the live shows.

I think that he could be good on live shows too actually

[Mystic Mock]

Papsidero isn't 'gimmicks' omg

hes actually pretty good

His a perfect example of why this show is dying.

What would you think of him if he just stood there and sang? His clearly not confident that he'd be good hence the angel wings.

And I normally would like him more if the calibre of contestants was higher elsewhere, and less gimmicky, we don't need to add another one on top that makes Fleur East look stripped back last year.

[andybigbro]

Don't think he is any good. His voice sounds screechy and false.

[Jack_]

I'm astounded by the hate this guy has received - I assume it's because his voice isn't ~normal~ but maybe it's just me but I quite enjoy it when someone's voice is out of the ordinary...there's nothing worse than a carbon copy of the latest low rent pub singer :sleep:

I get the 'boring' accusations but give me a bore with an intriguing voice over a bore with a bog standard voice any day

The guy who wore all the ~crazy~ costumes needs to be brought back, should never have gotten rid of him over some of the bores sat on those chairs :idc:

[Babayaro.]

Mock, the show isn't dying because of gimmicky acts, it's dying because the producers haven't got a braincell between them. Just look at the schedule for a start

[Shaun]

His voice wasn't that extraordinary tbh Jack_, it was just another Bronski Beat.

[Mystic Mock]

Mock, the show isn't dying because of gimmicky acts, it's dying because the producers haven't got a braincell between them. Just look at the schedule for a start

If they turned it back to the series 6 style where there was only Jedward and Olly that was gimmicky acts I bet that the ratings would go back up a couple of million viewers which is all the difference for it to get out of the red and into the black so to say.

Edit... It's not to say that there isn't other problems with the show as there clearly is, but I bet that's the biggest bug to bare for most of the general public and I can't say that I blame them.

The show also needs to learn to respect peoples votes more as well.

[Babayaro.]

Don't get me wrong, I can't really stand novelty acts most of the time but I just think there's bigger problems at the moment. Also, you found Olly gimmicky? I've never heard that from anyone :laugh:

[Black Dagger]

Pissyhairdo > your favourite.

[Withano]

He got a bad edit, every time someone hit a nice note, the camera would pan to his disappointed face. Also he was the only one not shown standing for Seann. Wonder if that had anything to do with it..

[Mystic Mock]

Don't get me wrong, I can't really stand novelty acts most of the time but I just think there's bigger problems at the moment. Also, you found Olly gimmicky? I've never heard that from anyone :laugh:

Well someone that doesn't rely on their vocals at all on a singing show (or so it pretends to be) then I class them as a gimmicky act, this includes joke acts, shouters, and dancers.

[Kate!]

Bring back Nathaniel

[Vanessa]

Looks like they will bring back Mason Noise! YAY :cheer2:

[Kate!]

Oh no. Mason is a dickhead.

[Vanessa]

Oh no. Mason is a dickhead.

I'm not sure Simon would let him come back.

[LeatherTrumpet]

one word

Mason Noise

[JoshBB]

Mason won't be back lmao

[Denver]

GOOD Nick should never of brought him back how ungrateful and spiteful to take someone else seat knowing fair well you had no plans to go to the next stage.

I think Papasiedo or Ollie should get the chair.

Also Mason has no chance it was a set up all along and he played his part in the publicity stunt.

[arista]

Something must have spooked him

[JoshBB]

I don't think this was a publicity stunt.. it seemed pretty unexpected.

[LukeB]

Does it matter who they bring back?

Seann and Che have obvious made live shows and its obviously out of Josh or Simon for the last spot.

[Denver]

I don't think this was a publicity stunt.. it seemed pretty unexpected.

If it wasnt a publicity stunt Simon wouldn't let him bad mouth the show he would of had him removed within seconds

[JoshBB]

He told him to apologise or leave.

[Denver]

Please not Che he is the most overated ever ive had better craps.

Seann for me is the most talented male they have ever had and he is my winner

[Liam-]

It doesn't matter who they bring back because if anyone from the boys category wins it'll be Seann, but they should bring Nathaniel back because his seat was taken from him by Tom.

[Lostie!]

It doesn't matter who they bring back because if anyone from the boys category wins it'll be Seann, but they should bring Nathaniel back because his seat was taken from him by Tom.

Yeah, I don't actually expect whoever returns to win (or to even make the live shows tbh), but anyone other than Nathaniel would just leave a bad taste on the simple basis of fairness.

[LukeB]

Please not Che he is the most overated ever ive had better craps.

Seann for me is the most talented male they have ever had and he is my winner

I agree, they should bring back the one who did the better performance and didn't **** up e.g Ollie but there's no point

[Babayaro.]

lol at Che being called overrated. He's clearly the best singer this year

[JoshBB]

lol at Che being called overrated. He's clearly the best singer this year

Seann is better :fan:

[Heaven = Winner]

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

That depends on if you like acts screeching through X Factor relics.

He'll be the UK's Big T.

[JoshBB]

Honestly though, as much as they're good, the typical 'I Have Nothing' songs that everyone comes on with really ought to be banned.

[erinp5]

Just watched the vid of him on Ellen Show
