Voice contestant Jamie Bruce claims X Factor failed to care for him and forced him to binge eat

The Voice contestant Jamie Bruce has hit out at The X Factor for failing to give support after he was “ridiculed” in auditions two years ago.

Jamie, who on Saturday night got through to the live rounds of the singing talent show The Voice, praised BBC1 for treating him professionally and “like an artist”.

The singer said: “Compare that to The X Factor where there is no aftercare and people to make sure you’re mentally OK.

“Some people don’t thrive under pressure and crumble. Then they get ridiculed by the crowd and judges.”

He revealed that he binged on junk food to try to “forget about feeling like a failure” after getting kicked out of The X Factor and his weight ballooned to 24 stone.

Jamie, who has lost 4 stone in seven weeks and aims to be 17 stone by the live rounds, said: “It’s been easy for me to cut out the bad things in my life with the frame of mind I’m now in.”

Voice coach Will.i.am has just revealed he suffers with ADHD. The Black Eyed Peas singer, 38, says: “I have ADHD. I’ll admit it.

“Did you hear about the elephant that got into that fight with a gorilla? Sorry, that’s my ADHD kicking in.

“I’ve got all this stuff in my head at the same time as I’m doing stuff and I don’t know how to stop or slow down. But it’s all good because I know how to control it.” Read more of the story here.
