Two people who have been included on Simon Cowell's popular X Factor talent show have been revealed to be a "stripper" and a "thug".
Amie Buck told X Factor executives that she was a personal trainer working in Newcastle, but a friend revealed to the Sun newspaper that she makes her money by dancing topless, earning up to £500 a week.
Another contestant, 16-year-old Curtis Moore, has been found to have a picture of himself brandishing a knife on his Bebo social networking page.
One of Moore's neighbours confessed to the newspaper: "Curtis used to cause so much trouble ... he shoplifted mainly with lads older than him and even attempted stealing a bike the young owner was sat on in the middle of a busy bus station. I once disarmed him of a Stanley knife when he ran after another young man."
The cousin of X Factor winner Leona Lewis, Adrian Henry, was recently arrested for a brutal attack and robbery of three men in London.
