Front page of "The People" tommorow. X-Factor Drugs Probe. Seems like they are saying Police have been tipped off there were drugs at boot camp, and that Rachel is involved in it.

Could be a contestant who didn't get through tipped them off, maybe genuine, maybe made up out of bitterness.

Oh no! Could it be Amy Connerly!? Joking!!!

I really doubt Rachel would risk such a thing. Shes got a chance to change her whole life. Im praying she has not done anything. Must likely made up story or someone else.

Seems it's only cannabis, so nothing too exciting.

Yeah it's really silly. The picture next to the headline was a pic of her though. I bet someones tried to just sell a story. A bad loser perhaps?

Regarding Rachel, i think maybe we have to understand that if someone has been used to doing something their whole life they may not have the self control to be able to stop doing it. Just because they might say they are "clean" doesn't mean they always are.

It's probably true (whoever in the boot camp is doing it), most young people in music/media do, but it really isn't likely to be a big deal, its only cannabis, it doesn't look like they were actually caught with it. I guess it could be made up just to get a story out about XF and they obviously know Rachel is a target. The People don't usually do that tho, thats usually the Sun or Star.

Yeah whether she took it or not, I don't care. She hasnt killed anyone, hasnt been rude to anyone. Those are the only things that would make me change opinion on someone. Talent is talent. Im not gonna stop loving Amy Winehouse although I wish for her sake, she would stop.

If true, I hope they don't take Rachel off.

I don't think it is really anybody's business what she does in this light. She is on a competition and needs to be judged on her singing.

Then again this is the X Factor and any form of publicity that boosts the shows ratings for the eventual winner to line Simon Cowell's pockets is a bonus.

I agree.

She is only harming herself

To be fair, and i'm talking about whoever here, not just Rachel. It is a singing contest, BUT, they are at the end of the day applying for a job, and that job will involve promoting records to an audience that includes children. So i do think it's ITV and X-Factor's responsibility to find a winner that is suitable to do the job. I'm not sure how far i would go as to say whether they should see a "reformed" person as suitable but if someone was on drugs or had some criminal element to them now i don't think they are right for it.

this story could be so damaging not just for rach but for her children if social servies see this they could be taken off her..with the drug thing, if this is some bitter and twisted bootcamper who didnt get through making up bullshite than i hope they know they could potentially cause unessacary problems for rachel! amazing what people will do to make a quick buck or 2

Yup it's rather obviously someone who has snitched her up if true (and id love to know who it is). I never thought about that but it could have a very damaging effect on her children.

This goes two ways.

How much will the production team control the publicity of the show so that their talent will go unscathed?

How many drugs stories do we here about with actors but imporantly how little do we know? This is what I mean by how much PR can they control.

I think overall, the producers will create a persona for their chosen winner and use means to diminish the ability of others to do well.

So she smuggled it abroad as well?

Edit: Just noticed it was boot camp not judges houses.
