He won the show in 2004 with 6 million votes and his winners song made it to the number one spot in the UK charts but after a year Steve was dropped by his record label Sony BMG.

Clearly not too upset about losing his recording contract Steve said: u201cItu2019s amazing how many doors close when you part company with Cowell. Itu2019s almost like leaving a mafia family. Simon has such an amazing ego. He believes that if he canu2019t make you a star, then no-one will. Itu2019s virtually impossible to get any attention once heu2019s lost interest. When I look back on it all, Iu2019ve no doubt I should have stuck with what I was doing before the X Factor – and Iu2019d probably been better off.u201d6 of 13

Itu2019s probably one the most awkward of all the X Factor fall-outs and Katie Waissal did little to diffuse matters.

But later the Call My Name singer revealed in her Autobiography Cheryl, My Story that she u201ccouldnu2019t standu201d the singer at first and admitted that she put Katie through to the live shows because of pressure from Simon Cowell.

Cheryl said: u201cSimon had spent the past two years drumming into me that we needed acts who would be good TV. When I saw Katie perform this time, I had to admit she was certainly that. She was quirky, intriguing and busting to succeed. In short, she had the character and drive it took to withstand the pressure of the show, and so I put her through, even though she messed up when she sang in front of Will.u201d

Clearly upset by Cherylu2019s admission, Katie sent Cheryl the following message via Twitter. u201c@cherylcole thought you were better than this. Shame I trusted you. You live and you learn.7 of 13
