Wannabe lifts lid on stately home rampage

By Lewis Panther

X FACTOR'S boot camp was so full of drugs and sex it should have been called BONK camp, a contestant has said.

Sisi Jghalef, 22, admitted she smoked cannabis at the stately home, where more than 200 wannabes were whittled down to 48.

And she claimed others took harder drugs—and were so tired from sex romps at night they could barely sing by day.

Sisi, kicked out because show bosses feared she would get ARRESTED, said: "I only did a bit of weed. There was a lot more than that going on and there's video tapes to prove it. I saw it all.

"There were lots of drugs going round besides dope. But it wasn't just the drugs. Put 200 young people in a stately home for a week and you can guess what happens.

"There were lots of people having sex. Some of the single singers formed bed-hopping groups whenever they could. I remember talking to one lad who said, ‘I can't sing today—I'm too tired after having sex all night.' It should have been called Bonk Camp."

Assault

At Heythrop Park, Oxfordshire, Sisi was put into Hope—one of the bands formed from rejected solo singers by judges Simon Cowell and Louis Osborne.

But she got booted out after a week when it emerged she could be arrested on live TV if cops saw her perform on future shows. The South London girl is wanted for failing to finish her community service after being convicted of assault on a McDonald's worker.

Last night an X Factor spokesman said: "We weren't aware she was smoking cannabis and we wouldn't condone it. It shows we were right to get rid of her."

Meanwhile a video has emerged of fellow Hope member Phoebe Brown getting steamy with a girl pal AND an 18-year-old boy student. Phoebe, 16, indulged in the threesome in bushes at a birthday party at Sunbury Golf Club, Surrey, before the camp. The lad filmed the action on his mobile phone. A source said: "The video is hot, hot, hot. Phoebe's eyes are glinting as she gets fresh with the student.

"It's not the kind of film you want to surface when you are going on a top TV show." Last week viewers saw Phoebe, of Addlestone, wow judges with Christina Aguilera's Hurt.

The source said: "She looks fresh-faced but Simon is going to have his hands full with her."

Other boot camp contestants have been moaning about "appalling" conditions there. Naomi Chan, 23—one of several wannabes who woke Simon Cowell at 7am with noise after a pool party—said: "The food was quite cheap.

"Loads of us got stomach ache and lots of people felt ill at some point. The whole experience was hellish."

Last week 79-year-old rapper Joy Philippou claimed she got so little food or drink she could not perform well.

She also said contestants were made to stand in lines in the blazing sun for three hours, waiting for Cowell.
