20/11 Tales from the Tabs

Tales from the Tabs

The Irish Sun reports today that ‘X Factor check-out queen’ Mary Byrne will become a millionaire, according to Irish judge and her show mentor Louis Walsh. The Tesco crooner, despite a couple of rocky performances in recent weeks, will rake in at least €100,000 from the X Factor tour after Christmas, which is reserved for performers that reach the final eight of the competition, as Mary has done. The tabloid also reports that Marks and Spencers are ‘begging’ the Dublin diva to become a plus-sized model for an upcoming clothing campaign.

Proving that no matter what happens to this country is never as important as tonight’s X Factor broadcast, both The Irish Daily Mirror and Irish Daily Star are running their own separate X Factor-related headlines.

‘Cheryl’s A Chav!’ reads the Daily Mirror, as the tabloid reports that the solo singer and X Factor judge had a furious argument with fashion designer Julian McDonald, who referred to the former reality show contestant as a ‘chav’, telling her also that her newly-dyed hair looked like sh*t. We don’t know much about Mr McDonald but we like him already. The Star has a few choice quotes from ‘Our Mary’ as she thanks mentor Louis Walsh for ‘transforming her into a diva’, which we’re not sure is a good thing?
