Wagner Banned From Interviews

According to reports, X Factor chiefs have banned Wagner Carrilho from giving any interviews after last week's exit fearing he could damage the show's reputation.

Like other eliminated contestants, Wagner was lined up to appear on ITV's Daybreak as well as give other TV and radio interviews, all of which were cancelled at the last minute.

In contrast, Katie Waissel who was also eliminated last weekend, spoke on Daybreak, This Morning and to other magazines and newspapers.

It is thought that Simon Cowell and other show bosses are worried that Wagner will get bad press, not only ruining X Factor's reputation but also overshadowing contestants ahead of next week's semi-finals.

According to one newspaper, a show source said: "Wagner was banned from speaking to the other contestants on Sunday and yesterday they turned down dozens of media requests because they were worried what he might say.

"Wagner could say anything at any time so it looked like an accident waiting to happen. They spent the day giving him advice so that when he does speak he won't damage the show's image.

"He was effectively gagged. No other contestant had this treatment this series."

The only quotes Wagner did give were to the show's official X Magazine, in which he hit out at mentor Louis Walsh over his song choices.
