'X Factor' winner Sam Bailey: 'I'd like to do some acting'

Former 'X Factor' winner Sam Bailey has revealed a new career aspiration now that she has been dropped by music mogul Simon Cowell's label, SyCo. 

The songstress announced her departure from the roster earlier this week, but has now revealed that she would like to try her hand at acting: "I’d like to do some acting, no-one off 'The X Factor' has ever done any sort of acting."

She went onto add that she has a good sense of humour and is very funny, which could be on her side: "I’m quite a comical person. On this tour everyone has said, loads of people on twitter have said, ‘my goodness you are so funny’. I don’t mean to be, that’s just naturally me, I generally take the mickey out myself quite a lot."

Speaking to ITV's Lorraine recently, Bailey addressed being dropped and admitted that she saw it coming

"Do you know what, I've said it all along, it's like almost people think that's someone's died. It's nothing to be sad about, I am honestly grateful for being with Syco for the time that I was with them. And you know if you won a competition to win £10,000 then eventually that £10,000 is not going to be there anymore and it's the same with this, so I kind of knew it was coming."
