X Factor's Scarlett Mae Quinn Blames Simon Cowell's Chest for Her Exit

Ex-stripper Scarlett Mae Quinn didn't get voted through to the Judges' houses as she forgot her lines whilst singing Duran Duran's 'Ordinary World' at X Factor Bootcamp in the UK.

The judges, including Cowell, tell her how disappointed they are and she faces the axe – meaning she will miss a place at the Judge's houses. The episode will be viewed this weekend.

However, the 28-year-old said: “Simon’s to blame. He put me off.

“It was that chest. I was wondering how many more buttons on his shirt would pop open. Forgetting those lyrics will haunt me. This was biggest opportunity of my life.”

X Factor Bootcamp is on air this weekend (September 27 and 28) on ITV at 8pm.

Mae Quinn's husband, Ashley Slater, auditioned with her as part of the duo Kitten And The Hip, but the judges advised her to go solo. Fifty-three-year-old Ashley has had previous chart success with Fat Boy Slim, including three Top 40 singles and a Top 20 album. 

Mae Quinn reportedly told The Sun: “I did stripteases and private dances. The private dances are how you make your wage — you get £30 for every three minutes.

“I was always in trouble for spending too much time with clients. In the end I just walked out.”
