I hate to admit it, but it’s become sort of a guilty pleasure watching the best clips from the X Factor on Sunday morning and not sitting through the whole thing on a Saturday. Not only was Natalie Imbruglia’s face suspiciously solid, (always fun having a bit of Botox spotting) but there was the most horrific piece of car crash television I think I have ever seen.
Shockingly bad telly and quite unforgivable for me to have been so hooked by it, but the truly awful audition by Abbey and Lisa (aka Ablisa) which ending up with one of them punching the other was proof if ever you needed it that Vicky Pollard is alive and thumping. Small wonder looking at this, that British women have been voted the most minging in the world (as voted by the rest of the world!)

The tragic thing is, that they were  exploited for the purposes of cheap entertainment, and they should never have been allowed on the television in the first place, it was quite obvious they couldn’t sing right from the word go. They were only picked to make riveting telly by embarrassing themselves. So while part of me is appalled, another possibly much smaller part feels a bit sorry for them. Thus I thought they should have their own supportive t-shirt, courtesy of T-Shirt Studio. But only if they promise never to be on TV again. Ever!
