Ex-con tipped for victory
Quote:
AN ex-con and mother of five has emerged as one of this year’s brightest prospects for X Factor stardom.
Londoner Rachel Hylton, 26, overcame years of crime and crack cocaine to wow the judges with a pitch-perfect version of Amy Winehouse’s You Know I’m No Good.
The wannabe was brought up in care and became pregnant with her first child aged TWELVE. She went on to have a further four children all by different fathers.
Some were taken into care after Rachel was sent to prison. Two still live with her.
She tells the judges on Saturday’s show: “I’ll be honest — I’ve been involved in drugs and been to prison. But I just want to make a better life for me and my kids.”
Her performance mesmerises Simon Cowell, who declares: “I absolutely love her. I want to give this girl a second chance.”
