Tweed girl, 'Snog' star for 'X Factor'

An ex-lover of Jack Tweed and a Snog Marry Avoid contestant are taking part in this year's X Factor.

According to The Sun, fake tan and Burberry addict Chloe Mafia impressed the judges at the auditions with her "bubbly personality" and rendition of 'Wishing On A Star'.

Mafia, who has previously appeared on the BBC Three make-under show Snog Marry Avoid, has a 19-month-old daughter called Destiny. She apparently dresses her daughter in matching outfits, nicknaming her the "Burberry princess".

The 20-year-old's musical influences are rap, grime and reggae and her favourite artists include Lil Wayne and Sean Paul. "Chloe might be a self-confessed chav but she has more street cred than a lot of people who audition normally," said a source. "She says she's 'keeping it real'."

Meanwhile, Miss Nuts Babe 2008 Sam Grierson is also hoping for success on the ITV1 talent show. Grieirson was involved in a tabloid scandal when she partied with widower Tweed only months after the death of his wife Jade Goody.

The 25-year-old has reached the Boot Camp stage of the show with her girl group Husstle.

"Sam wants to make something of her life and thinks X Factor is her chance," said an insider. "She's had a reasonable career as a glamour girl but singing is her ambition.

"She knows that her past will be raked over, but she wants this really badly - and she's not a shy girl. She's been gigging for years and now she sees X Factor as her ticket to fame and fortune."
