'X Factor's Beverley mobbed at KFC

Thwarted X Factor hopeful Beverley Trotman was mobbed at a branch of KFC yesterday.

Trotman, who was voted off the ITV1 singing contest on Saturday night, was bombarded by excitable fans after creeping into the fried chicken restaurant for a sneaky meal.

She told DS: "I passed by KFC yesterday - don't tell anybody - and as soon as I walked in everybody rushed up to me and said 'We love you! You were robbed!' It really made me smile and realise it was all worth it."

Trotman also revealed that she is planning to take "a year or two" off from her teaching job in order to pursue a career in showbiz.

"I'm really looking towards theatre, children's TV, choirs and just anything that might come my way," she said. "I'm really open-minded about it all - I'm so excited by whatever the next challenge might be!"
