I think the contracts were already in place for both of them last week. I know we can't trust the papers, but I remember Simon saying he had to be nice to Will because he was going to be working with him. That was in the early show, so I was still quite sober. For weeks they've been talking about how he could imagine signing up several of them, so I was glad they'd dropped the pretence about coming first being the only route to a contract.
I had to laugh this morning when Foxy was on GMTV. He quite rightly said it was a nonsense to think there was any attempt to rig the telephones. He said that some people just look for a conspiracy and love to encourage a scandal. All this just a few hours after he'd been on tv saying he thought the Hearsay auditions were fishy.
I was a bit disappointed, because Lisa (formerly of Steps and girlfriend of new person) was also on gmtv earlier with her brothers and she said she wanted to have words with him about what he had said. I had hoped we'd have had an on-air slanging match, but someone must have kept them apart.
I read somewhere that about a million people were trying to get through to vote during any given minute and that there was a risk the telephone network was going to collapse. BT had to bring in special measures to prevent it happening. Oops! Oh well, it probaby saved a lot of people a lot of money.
