eoghan quiggX Factor star Eoghan Quigg is reportedly annoyed that he is given less time to practice than the other finalists.

Because he’s only 16, it’s legal for him to work more than six hours a day - so that means only six hours of rehearsals while fellow finalists Alexandra Burke and boyband JLS have no such restrictions.

A source told the Mirror: “Eoghan is gutted. He’s desperate to win and fears this will put him at a disadvantage.

“He begged but the show bosses told him he needs to do his schoolwork.”

Yesterday, the star flew home for a quick visit to Northern Ireland to help drum up support of local fans.
