EXCLUSIVE: HATE MALE FOR X FACTOR STAR
X FACTOR winner Shayne Ward is getting sick hate mail.
The singer has vowed to ignore the threats but he has been given a bodyguard to give him round-the-clock protection.
One note warned Shayne, 21, and family to "look over their shoulders" and another made racist remarks on their Irish roots.
Shayne's mum Philomena, 48, has also received threatening phone calls and is scared to leave their Manchester home.
Shayne's sister Lisa, 24, said: "It's upsetting and stressful, but we're a strong family. Negativity from jealous idiots won't upset us."
It is believed the letters could be from enemies of Shayne's jailed relations. His father, Martin, 50, is serving eight years for raping a pensioner. Two uncles and a cousin also got life over a shooting.
Shayne, is resting after a nodule was found on his throat. But he denies the scare will keep him out of the upcoming X Factor tour.
