Chris axed from tour?

Rob200696 · 10/12/12 - 11:08

Chris has been taken out of the X factor tour advert that was just shown on itv1

treme · 10/12/12 - 11:11

Menan and her bingo cronies won't be happy about this!

starkitten1982 · 10/12/12 - 11:12

I noticed that too. He has been featured on every other advert for the tour during the show so it's very obvious when he wasn't on that one. It does look like he has been cut out.

ladydancer1 · 10/12/12 - 11:12

Interesting.......

[Deleted User] · 10/12/12 - 11:14

No surprise. He's killed his career before it started.

[Deleted User] · 10/12/12 - 11:15

I actually feel a bit sorry for him

[Deleted User] · 10/12/12 - 11:15

I vaguely remember a Chris. Which series was he in again?

divingbboy · 10/12/12 - 11:20

He was still in the tour advert they showed last night and, yes, I'm hearing that he was edited out of the one they've started showing from this morning. Good. How to kill your career in three easy steps before it's even got going. The prat.

staceyxxx23 · 10/12/12 - 11:20

Oh dear. If it's true, they shouldn't really be allowed to do that.

But I'm not complaining since it may mean Rylan gets to sing more songs...

I can't stand Maloney but I think this is all getting a bit much now. Barlow chose him to be the wildcard and people voted for him, so for the show to not support him through all the very nasty comments and abuse he's been getting is very wrong. I've taken the mick out of Maloney on these forums myself but there becomes a point when it starts to turn sinister. He's just a fella who took part in a singing contest.

I actually started to feel sorry for him on Saturday, when Barlow went round to his nan's house and she'd put tea out for them (which Barlow probably never even touched) and Maloney bought that frame for the OBE - I actually thought that was a kind gesture. He's been treated pretty poorly by the X Factor, in my view, and I wouldn't like to guess where it might all lead to. We should just stop it now and leave the fella alone.

[Deleted User] · 10/12/12 - 11:26

I actually do feel sorry for him - all that effort he put in. However he can only blame himself and has become the architect of his own demise.

No record deal, no tour. All because of his temper.

[Deleted User] · 10/12/12 - 11:29

if he's as horrid as we are hearing then he doesnt deserve the opportunity to be on the tour.

[Deleted User] · 10/12/12 - 11:30

I wonder if the rumours about not appearing last night are true and that's part of the reason? Or perhaps something is in the contract about having to attend the final in order to go on the tour? It does seem a little weird the person finishing in 3rd place doesn't perform though.

divingbboy · 10/12/12 - 11:32

Oh, well, at least these leaves him available to do a his own tour of Gala Bingo halls with Menan. Silver linings, etc....

This!

I did feel sorry for Chris but all the contestants seem to dislike him they wouldn't all be like that if nothing had happened. Chris might become the next Steve seems like it's headed that direction now.
He was treated badly on the show though.

[Deleted User] · 10/12/12 - 11:46

This is exactly what they wanted, although hes contributed to his own demise im sure, there seems to be no duty of care towards him at all. He won his place fair and square on the tour, his supporters have brought tickets to see him thinking he is on the tour, and now they have basically wiped him from the history books already. There has to be a point where the media say enough is enough, keep the pressure on and we may see a breakdown or worse in the following few days/weeks.

IF he has an alcohol problem (and i think he has), and i said this for Frankie last year as well, they should have a responsibility to get him help or at least support him as he was on their show and making headlines for them all season (where would they have been without him???) Remember how Frankie came out and said that X Factor encouraged him to go out on those benders? i wouldnt be surprised if they didnt encourage Chris to go out Sat night, knowing the possible reaction.

The thing is, the X-Factor has to shoulder some of the blame. They've spent the past two months or so drip-feeding negative stories to the media and encouraging negative behavior towards Chris on-screen. If Chris was so bad, why not just axe him from the competition? The fact that they didn't suggests that either they were making it all up or that they were more than happy to let Chris get away with behaving badly (which is unfair on everyone else who's on the receiving end). Either way, shame on X-Factor!

[Deleted User] · 10/12/12 - 11:48

His absence from the advert today speaks volumes.

If he has been axed, he has nobody to blame but himself. It looks like he's been exposed by the temper that people spoke of in rumour, but his fans denied even existed.

Hoisted by his own petard. Ooops.

I totally agree.

When the next X Factor comes around I bet he will do a 'Steve Brookstein'. about all things X Factor.

Baloney is a very sore loser and has shown his true colours.

No - shame on Chris for acting like a bell-end.

You got it all the wrong way round though.

X Factor and all the production team have been great to him and bent over backwards for him but every time its never been enough.

He then becomes difficult to work with because of his behaviour. When someone gets like that you tend to step back, do what has to be done but let them get on with it.

Chris acted as though he was the biggest star there from day one.....and never showed an ounce of gratitude.

Shame on both Chris (for his behavior) and the X-factor (for allowing it to go on to suit their agenda).

Sara Webb · 10/12/12 - 11:53

He's just said he's ill, if it's true then maybe he's not being a bell. Not a fan of his, but good luck to him in the future.

Whatever this case, the vitriol aimed at him from some quarters bores me to the point where I'm considering hibernation.

Queen Maeve · 10/12/12 - 11:56

Yes, getting the feeling that the XF Machine has played a blinder here.

Hey there!
