There's been talk of a book for some time but it seems it's finished:

Talk to the press and we'll bury you - Max Clifford. Now he's in prison and I'm writing a book. Available to order now.

It is an irrelevance musically
Leon Jackson (my choice of answer!) got 1 I think. I was surprised Steve was so low actually. He hasn't let it go so thought he'd be higher than the likes of Shane Ward.
He's probably taped all the interviews, so all the ghost writer has to do now is write the book.
Im all for him. Liked him on the x factor and for anyone saying he is bitter........wouldn't you be ? The way he was treat by the show is awful
I still cant wait for a tell all book to come out on everything that happens on xfactor, would be so good!
Actually it was:
Leona Lewis 29
Little Mix 18
Alexandra Burke 17
Joe McElderry 12
Matt Cardle 7
Steve Brookstein 2
Leon Jackson 1
And XF was the best category of all the reality show winners in terms of scores and guesses
They have to give eight answers - so who was the other one, James Arthur, Shayne Ward or Sam Bailey
It was the second round, so three pairs left, six answers needed, and the contestants had more than one category to choose from, there was BGT, SCD and Celebrity Big Brother winners too.
Joe, Steve and Leona were guessed by the contestants, as was Paul Potts who scored 9 (also Will Young and Homer Simpson by the couple who didn't watch reality TV!)
The rest of the XF winners I listed were in Richard's round up
His ego collided with Simon Cowells
And that was such a fit of the giggles he got, while performing 'Against All Odds' after winning!
- How he clashed with Cowell over creative control of his album.
- How Cowell released his music without any promotion. Compare this to the £20m investment in X Factor losers One Direction and the non-stop promo of Ella Henderson.
- How Max Clifford used his media links to get Brookstein's interviews dropped. Effectively blacklisting him and ensuring he failed. I hoping he includes the email proof he had mentioned several times in the book.
- How the X Factor gives showbiz journalists free holidays to Judges' Houses locations in exchange for not mentioning how the show is fixed and for free positive hype for Syco acts.
To be fair, none of that is in any way surprising or groundbreaking. But I will confess that I'd be intrigued to read it.
To be fair, that shows the lack of integrity on the part of those so called journalists.
Integrity and sun journalists in the same sentence? Really?
No.1 in the Amazon pre-sale chart, Waterstones are stocking it- available on Kindle and i-tunes too. My hardback is on order but I downloaded a free sample from the Kindle app for Samsung and it's a really good read.
A friend has already received and read her copy and is raving about it with lots of insider stuff that would never have come out if he hadn't written the book himself.
On his facebook page Steve said "I don't want to change the world, just the story" and I think he can safely say mission accomplished.
(£4.95 on Kindle... go on... you know you want to!)
