Former X Factor winner Sam Bailey reckons that The X Factor has reached its end.


Writing in her latest X Factor column for bookmakers Ladbrokes, Sam suggested that with falling ratings the show is "coming to the end of its shelf life"

She explained: "It’s been a great platform for launching new talent over the years and I wouldn't be stood in my extended kitchen without the show, but it seems to have gotten a little stale and unless there are drastic changes afoot it might be time to pull the plug."

Sam quipped: "ITV have snapped up The Voice from 2017 and if that doesn’t put a rocket up Simon Cowell’s bum, nothing will."

The 2013 winner suggested a new panel with "credible judges" like Tom Jones or Gary Barlow and "genuine contestants from the streets" were the way to go, also saying that the show should encourage "song writing and musicianship were encouraged".

Sam said: "I was over the moon to work with Gary Barlow. I loved him growing up and was amazed to be working with him and getting constructive criticism from someone with such experience. I wouldn’t have that same feeling if the comments were to come from the likes of Nick Grimshaw."

And she went on to claim that "it’s just a matter of time until they pull the plug on [The X Factor UK] unless there are some drastic changes," adding: "I think they should ask the viewers what they want and maybe have one last throw of the dice next year.

I mean I don't necessarily disagree that the show is **** now but she's bitter as hell

Shes got a few feet added onto her kitchen whilst other contestants are out touring the world.. can't blame her for wanting this pain of jealousy to end really

I don't get this, how is she doing anything different from all of us who comment on the show (and how crap it's frankly been this year)?

It's like we're allowed to have opinions but former contestants aren't?

If it was a singing competition then the 3rd and 4th last year would've been the final two, Luke would've won series 10, and the top 5 this year would be replaced with the ones that have been eliminated with the exception of Bupsi.

Then don't forget to mention how acts like Amelia Lily, Misha B, Janet Devlin, Sophie Habibis, The Risk, and Kitty should not have been struggling against Little Mix, Marcus Collins, and ****ing Craig Colton.

The X Factor UK has always been a disgrace for not supporting the actual decent acts, that's why The X Factor Australia, and The Voice USA are better nowadays, and why ITV is replacing The X Factor UK with The Voice UK.

And with Sam Bailey she has every right to be bitter tbf, she was the winner yet had zero promotion whilst Luke and Nicholas did got some promotion.

How ungrateful, it sure gave her a better life.
