X-Factor Rhydian in Mexico

Bouffant-haired Welsh warbler Rhydian Roberts has been holidaying in Mexico, according to the Daily Mail. Any disappointment the X-Factor runner-up may have felt at being pipped at the post in the final by fellow-Celt Leon Jackson is likely to have been short-lived – Roberts has just been awarded a £1m record deal of his very own.

Those who find the singer’s platinum quiff off-putting can take comfort from the fact that it could be a whole lot worse – the pre-peroxide Roberts was a redhead.
