Matt Donates Money
 

His illness was never played on was it? Anyone else would have played the sympathy card all the way through. I never even knew until yesterday

DS

He always on about it on the Xtra factor :bored:

I never heard him. Mind you I never really watched XTra Factor. I'd watch the first half with the judges and guests but then it just got boring

he probably got the cancer on purpose just so he won :bored:

pmsl.

No but I agree in a sense, I didn't see it exploited for sympathy, so good on him...

Kerry,I knew he had ,had cancer as a child and you are right he never once played on this,I watched the Xtrafactor everyweek and never once did MATT bring it up,he may have been asked about it by Konnie,but that is a totally different thing.He could have milked it for all it was worth and the fact that you never knew reinforces he didn't.We know how to pick em:xyxwave:

NOT true:nono:

Most would have played on that...good on him :)

What a welcome change to find something like this out after the show is over. He's going up and up in my estimation, this one.:blush:

I never knew until yesterday which speaks volumes as I'm an X Factor addict. I only found out as I read it on here!

Kerry of you look in this thread,there are vids of Matt with his band,give it a listen,he is still fantastic on these,what a find he is.

Cheers, will take a look :)

It was in the Sunday papers (NOTW or Mirror) early on in the competition.

They didn't hardly mention it on the shows though which makes a refreshing change! Good on him :)

It's a bittoo sensitive a subject to bring up on XF whatsoever

but yeah fair play.

I never knew about this until reading the paper today. And i've read a lot of the X Factor gossip.

As always, people have to criticise.

If i remember right,has he just one kidney?

Yeah he had a tumour and had to have chemo and one kidney removed. He was only two if I remember rightly.

Wow, what a great comment. Cancer isn't a serious and awful illness, it's simply something minor isn't it? so let's all joke about it.

So many idiots in this world. :shocked:

He didn't play on it then, so why does it need to be mentioned now?

/ people who can joke about serious subjects, rather than go around like sensitive little lilies crying over child molestors and famine all the time

I can only assume he asked for it not to be mentioned during the show. After that people probs just went for it. It's not him mentioning it to be fair

this is the first time ive heard anything about it,but fair play to him as he could have milked it for all its worth.

I didnt know he had cancer before now, but I rarely watched Xtra Factor. :p

well he's already won the competition so it's not like it's playing for sympathy for him!

I did and never heard it mentioned on it
