'Stop Eoghan'... internet campaign set up to sabotage singer's chance of winning X Factor
The attention on X Factor hopeful Eoghan Quigg has taken an extraordinary twist - with an internet campaign to stop the teenager winning the show.

An e-mail with the subject line ‘Stop Eoghan’, which is signed by an ‘L Walsh’, is being forwarded on to more and more people each day.

The message asks readers to stop the eventual X factor winner – and acts such as Chico and Take That – from topping the Christmas singles chart by buying a charity record instead.

‘Morning pop pickers, fancy sticking it to the likes of Chico, Take That or – god help us – the X factor winner, by influencing the Xmas number one this year?’ the e-mail reads.

‘Then, click on this link and download the single.’

The link leads to a song entitled ‘Never Say Goodbye’, which is raising awareness about a five-year-old with a rare illness.

Edward Ackroyd, from Saddleworth, near Oldham, Lancashire, is suffering from the muscle-wasting disease Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which often leaves sufferers wheelchair-bound by the age of 10.

The youngster’s family hopes the song, which costs 99 pence to buy, will raise money for research into the illness and for the charity Action Duchenne.

The track is performed by wedding singer Shane Hamill, from Pudsey, Yorkshire.

Bookmakers William Hill say 16-year-old Eoghan Quigg is third favourite to win the X Factor, behind 20-year-old Alexandra Burke and boyband JLS.

An X Factor spokeswoman said judge Louis Walsh, who is mentoring JLS, had ‘absolutely nothing’ to do with the ‘Stop Eoghan’ e-mail.
