X Factor bosses shocked to find pregnancy test at contestants’ home

X Factor bosses were reportedly outraged to find a used pregnancy test kit in the home shared by the show’s contestants.

The remaining female finalists share a house in Hampstead, North London with a number of female production staff and according to the People newspaper, the test stick was found in a communal room earlier in the month.

An inside source told the newspaper: “After an investigation was launched the female who owned the kit sheepishly came forward and admitted it was hers.

“Bosses went mad when told about the find because they have a duty of care towards the contestants and staff during their stay because of their relatively young ages.

“The words ‘pregnancy’ and ‘X Factor‘ just don’t sit well together.

“It’s meant to be a family show and bosses will go to any length to protect that image.

“The show is getting massive ratings and with the likes of Take That and Britney Spears appearing on [it], the last thing they need is a major sex/pregnancy scandal.

“Any bad publicity like this can cause real problems.”

Girl groups, Girlband and Bad Lashes, stayed at the house before they were voted off earlier in the series as did Laura White, who was voted off in week five, and Ruth Lorenzo, who was voted off last night. Remaining contestants Alexandra Burke and Diana Vickers are still currently based at the house.
