Looks like Andrea thought he had it in the bag until last weekend.



'X Factor': Andrea Faustini 'Locks Himself In Hotel Room For 12 Hours' After Sing-Off With Stevi Ritchie

It appears 'X Factor' hopeful Andrea Faustini was just as shocked as we were to find himself in the sing-off on last weekend's show - so much so that he reportedly holed himself up in his hotel room for 12 hours.

Andrea ended up in the bottom two with Stevi Ritchie after the pair received the fewest amount of viewer's votes, despite being an early favourite to win the singing competition.

After being put through to the next round, the Italian fled the 'X Factor' studios in tears and locked himself in his hotel room, according to The Sun.

Despite staff on the show pleading with him to come out of his room, he apparently refused, choosing to stay put with only his sister Elena for company.

'X Factor' sources have said show bosses are now worried he won’t be able to handle the pressure going forward.

A source said: “Andrea was riding high and had an awfully long way to fall.”

Earlier this month, Simon Cowell apologised to Andrea after he criticised his performance during Big Band week.

Speaking to The Sun, Simon admitted: “I had a bad night. I had a really bad headache, I was really grumpy.

“I want to apologise to Andrea because I wasn’t being fair.”

It was harsh but fair

[LukeB]

How can he be surprised to be there? Does he think he is safe all the time! He is so cocky! I hope he is in bottom 2 again and actually go if he is going to act like a kid being told off.

Oh yes, it's such a crime to be upset about being in the bottom two

I'm not sure about you, but I'd be upset about being in the bottom two as well, I'd want some comforting from family as well.. People are just assuming it's because he thought he was safe

I would just take it, it's apart of life, how is he going to cope in the outside world if you can't take being in the bottom 2 then he is in the wrong business. Only the young was sad to be in the bottom 2 they got on with it in the end, they never acted like Andrea. It's sad but lifes a bitch gotta deal with it

This could be exaggerated. Simon bad press going into overdrive.

[Vanessa]

The show is running scared now and pulling all the stops to get him out. I wouldn't be surprised if the song "Hero" was chosen on purpose by show bosses. Bad press, Simon negative comments, singing first. Yep : they're running scared. Imagine the humiliation of having an italian winning the UK X Factor.

I know right? I don't even watch the show but how does him being upset about being in the bottom two make him a diva?

Simon has a fondness for 'women of colour' and always has had - long before fame came his way - and he has a palpable massive crush on his 'baby' (his words) Fleur East. A 'Blind Man On Horseback' can see as much, and Simon will stop at nothing to make Fleur a huge star, starting with her winning the X-Factor.

However, Simon knows that there is a stumbling block in the shape of Andrea and thus, is doing everything in his considerable power to remove that stumbling block.

Cowell is nobody's fool - he is not worried about any other competitor but Andrea, which is why he is doing the 'hatchet job' on him, it is unfair, but nothing personal. Andrea is simply a threat to Cowell's plans to play 'Svengali' with Fleur East as his 'Trilby.

Andrea will get signed anyway. He has so much potential. He needs a good label, not the joke that is Syco.

It doesn't, but people who are desperate for a reason to give the rival to their favourite a bad name, will make a fuss about any little thing they can

The highest place someone from outside the UK was Ruth Lorenzo 5th and she didn't have Simon trying to get her out. I'm hoping Andrea goes a bit further. But we know the show is trying to get him out, so it will be very hard.

Ruth

He'll either be out this week or next week, he won't make the final unfortunately.

[LeatherTrumpet]

he has to go

he is a foreigner and could be a spy or one of them sexualhumus's?

I wonder if this story would be taken differently if it was Lauren of Fleur.. There would probably be outcries of 'aww poor thing!' 'Hope she's okay!' But no.. Andrea does it and it's arrogance personified

No because Lauren and Fleur don't think they're safe and they won't be shocked to be in the bottom 2.

Of course they would be shocked. They think they're in the final already.

It would come as a shock to everyone, it would also upset them, I'm sure it would upset anybody, so if they locked themselves in their room because they were upset, would you also call them cocky or say they needed to go?
