Last year's X Factor runner-up Ray Quinn has been dropped by his record label after just eight months.

The singer came second in the last series of the reality contest, behind current chart-topping winner, Leona Lewis.

Quinn's debut album topped the chart, but Sony BMG has now decided to take him off its books.

The 19-year-old is reportedly looking at other projects. A source told the Mirror: "Ray is focusing on TV and West End stuff now. TV execs are even saying he could get his own chat show."

Seems a bit off, I mean I don't like him but he got a number 1 album, more then what Leona got. He was also a judge on a reasonable successful ITV show.
