Where Have I Seen Her Before?

The great thing about Reality TV is that the people who want to be publicly humiliated are more-than likely to reappear across multiple shows. Step forward Sophia Wardman, member of X Factor girlband Belle Amie... and ex Shipwrecked contestant.

Cast your mind back to 2007. Sunday morning hangovers mixed in with easy viewing telly (Hollyoaks, Shipwrecked etc). Sophia graced our screens as a flame haired member of the Tiger tribe. If you can’t remember what she was like, then why not watch it?

These days Sophia (now a blonde) can be seen strutting her stuff on The X Factor She originally auditioned as a solo artist, but was sent home at the end of boot camp. Well I say sent home, she just about managed to get backstage before she was called back on stage with three other girls and told they would be going through as a group. They seem to create groups every year, why not actually scrap groups auditioning all together and put them together within the show instead? Simon Cowell, if you are reading this, it was my idea first.

Sophia’s group made it into the live stages in the show and past the first two eliminations, but past experience tells us girl groups don’t seem to do that well. Only time will tell if this is Sophia's big break, or if stint on Coach Trip beckons...
