Know she was on a while back is a new album out?

Looking after baby?

She sang live on TerryWogan's Radio 2 show today, sounded very good.

I'm surprised she didn't make an appearance.


...I'm not really surprised.

planning to hang out with Ben in a years time since they won't anything better to do

Sam Bailey was on the show last week

Yes I know. I meant on the finals shows.

Banging up the cons on F Block

Why? Not normal to have the previous winner on the final, Or am I wrong?

Not quite, cell block H.

She will be duetting on Ben Who?now's album

Saturday night she was singing on QVC promoting the album.

Harsh - but true.

Sadly we won't remember most of the finalists names by spring - and then it's onto the new cast for 2015. And before then we have the endless leaks about the judges.

You would have thought that they would have had last years winner at finals to pass on the mantle so to speak...

Yes they have had previous years winners in final shows before.

Sam is doing brilliantly.

Her repackaged Christmas album soared from 45 to 46 in the charts this week after her performance on the X Factor.

don't you mean 46 to 45 LOL

I think being a mother is her most important job now

She's suffered from Bell's Palsy recently. Not easy recovering from that and having to promote your music at the same time. I feel for her...

It's around January when the former winners get dropped by the record company usually.

So I imagine she'll be enjoying Christmas, and can then return to being a full time mum next year.

Yeah, when they're both working in McDonald's together, lol

She's touring and promoting a new album, better than her previous job of Prison Warden

X Factor opens doors and gives people a taste of fame and the opportunity to build on it. Some in the foreground, some in the background.

They are not all going to be teen idols or pop stars
