Singing coach bans wild parties for her final four
SEXY Scots opera singer Yvonne Burnett has banned her X-Factor hopefuls from sex, partying - but not rock and roll - in bid to secure them the £1million first prize. The 12 finalists, who were unveiled last night, are competing for a record deal to become music's new No.1 act.
They will be singing live for public votes to keep them in the show. Every Saturday, one act will have to go.
Voice coach Yvonne is helping music mogul Louis Walsh with the four youngest finalists - Shane Ward, Chenai Zinuku, Nicholas Dorsett and Philip McGee.
And she's convinced one of them will be crowned the winner, rather than one of Simon Cowell's groups or Sharon Osbourne's over-25s.
Yvonne, of Methlick, Aberdeen, said: "We have no fear at all about Simon and Sharon's groups. In fact we haven't really been paying too much attention to them.
"I am really confident that we have the winner Yvonne confirmed the sex and party ban after claims some of the younger finalists had over-indulged.
