'X Factor' voiceover Peter Dickson reads Cheryl, Tulisa books - video

He can make X Factor viewers titter just by saying somebody's last name, so when we sat down with Peter Dickson this week, we couldn't resist asking him to go all Jackanory on us and give us a reading of the Cheryl Cole and Tulisa Contostavlos autobiographies.

Mr 'It's time to face the music' bellowed through a few choice excerpts from Cheryl: My Story and Tulisa: Honest, in which the judges open up about their time on the show.


Dickson read through Cole's exposé of what X Factor boss Simon Cowell used to get up to in his dressing room, before turning to Contostavlos's account of her rivalry with ex-judge Kelly Rowland over the Misha B 'bully' row, and the moment her act Little Mix were crowned winners of last year's series.

Dickson was available thanks to X Factor live final partners Pepsi Max and Walkers Extra Crunchy, who are giving consumers the chance to win tickets every hour to the show's live final weekend on December 8 and 9 through an on-pack promotion. More information available at pepsi.co.uk.

The X Factor continues tomorrow (October 20) at 8.20pm on ITV1.
