The sabotage begins. Anton topping the votes?

Read the header quickly and thought it said Anton outed by The Sun and was ready with my 'no shit sherlock' post

It's a strange story as he claimed he had been in foster care yet the headline claims he lied about being adopted which is not the same thing? As for the name change that could be a stage name?

Oh no - hope he doesn't turn out to be a complete fantasist. At the moment he comes over as eccentric but in a likeable way. If its shown he's been lying about his past then the public are likely to lose any sympathy they may have for him.

To be honest - he actually comes over as quite fragile and on the edge at times - especially when the pressure is on .

Hope its not all true as I like him and his strange style of presenting a song. The show needs characters and he is one.

I'm sure I saw his white brother on xtra factor. Anyway, I will take this with a pinch of salt. I'm not an Anton fan but he's obviously estranged from his family for whatever reason. No decent family would sell stories to the sun when they know it could ruin a family member's big opportunity. If they have an issue with his story, they should speak to him in private. Looks to me that they are using his success as a means to make some money.

The cambridge thing is a naughty white lie

I thought it was a singing contest? Not sure his background is relevant really.

Classic X factor de ramp. The Sun and Simon Cowell are best buddies

Yikes this one seems particularly bad. Part of Anton's appeal seems to be that he's such a nice guy on top of his voice so it'll be interesting to see going forward if this has any effect on his votes.

Has Simon Cowell always told the truth ?

Probably. That they've started so early suggests by some way though

Hmmm, he must be a big threat to Simon's desired acts winning, time for the deramping to begin early before he becomes difficult to shift. His brother who's white was on the Xtra Factor last weekend, he brought Anton's dog into the studio to see him.

Hmm his father says he grew up with his mum so perhaps she put him in foster care for a while?

Either way we can't really trust the sun

Yep Anton must be doing really well in the vote. I remember seeing his brother who is white on Xtra Factor too.

Going off this show already. It stinks of manipulation. Like cowbell made a mistake giving Bupsi an unknown Marvin Gaye song. Come on, either he realised he'd made a mistake putting her through or he's just a bad judge.

Oh the Sun that great document of accurate reporting (not) weren't they the ones who reported the Liverpool fans were urinating on dead bodies at the Hillsborough disaster.


Anyone who believes what they write are worth a carrot anyway.

Exactly what I thought. I bet he was top 3 of the vote. Possibly even at the very top

Who cares about that stuff anyway? I don't. It's a singing competition, not who's got the best back story. I hate all that back story stuff anyway and never even listen to it - just fast forward to the actual performance. I love Anton and didn't even know he'd said any of that stuff. The only thing I knew about him was he used to be a backing singer.

Trouble is it does influence some people. My mum gets the Sun and will often say to me "I don't like such and such a person. Did you know they used to be a bully at school?" I then ask her where she got such information from and why is that relevant anyway? She's always "I read it in the paper."
