Sam Bailey from the Over 25’s category on the XFactor has lost a stone in weight since she’s moved into the XFactor house. All of the finalists are staying in a 9 bedroom mansion in North London. It actually used to be Lionel Richie’s house and costs £17,000 per month to rent.
They’ve hired a gourmet chef to prepare all their meals and Sam has said this is why the weight is falling off her. Working full-time as a prison officer has made it difficult for her to eat regular meals before so she always ended up grabbing something quick that was probably very unhealthy.
She definitely looked slimmer on the first live shows at the weekend and wants to lose another dress size to feel even more confident.
Sam didn’t think she would even get through on the XFactor because in her words she “doesn’t look like a pop star” so she also auditioned for The Voice UK – however, as soon as she turned up to her first XFactor audition, it was clear she would go a long way so she ditched The Voice.
