It was a life-changing moment that should have felt euphoric, but instead X Factor hopeful, Chrissie Pitt was left feeling hurt and alone after qualifying for bootcamp, when her bandmates turned against her.
The 26-year-old part-time model was in tears on last night’s show after judge Kelly Rowland persuaded her to audition without her three friends.
And it seems the wannabe singer was right to be upset, as moments after Chrissie’s solo performance, the girls viciously turned their backs on her and even left her stranded at the studio in Manchester.

‘I was a teenage truant and I’ve got no regrets… I still passed 13 GCSEs’: The world according to Stacey Solomon
Stacey Solomon can’t stop smiling, and with good reason. Just three years ago she was a single mother living with her mum in Dagenham and surviving on benefits. Now she’s one of Britain’s fastest-rising stars.
Her transformation from shy, troubled teenager to showbiz phenomenon began in 2009, when she came third on The X Factor.
Last year she entered I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, winning the final with over 80 per cent of the public vote. She has since co-presented the Saturday-night ITV show Sing If You Can, written an autobiography and performed live at numerous sporting events, including this year’s FA Cup final.
More recently she has embarked on a solo music career. Now 21, she is dating painter Aaron Barham and lives with her three-year-old son Zachary in Dagenham.
