    Joe McElderry (the kid who won the X Factor) comes out

    Which will come as absolutely no surprise to anyone who watched even a minute of that show. Still, it is a sign of how much things have changed that a young teen-popster can come out at the beginning of his career. Though whether he actually has a career ahead of him is still to be seen. Though he'll definitely be playing a gay bar near you in 5, 4, 3, 2...

    Apparently he's done interviews with number of papers which will be out over the weekend.

    Here's The Mirror's story.

    And here's little Joe's statement to his fans.

      It's hard not to just go 'awwwwwww' every time I see him. I do wonder if this wasn't timed to coincide with an album release which I'm sure isn't too far off at this point, it's one way to get him back in the spotlight before the next Xfactor season hits TV.

      That Mirror article is shocking. Is that a portable CD player he is clutching in his hand? Did anyone know those still even existed?

      oh okay - he might be frustrated about that in the future. There's saying it and there's half saying it. No doubt he'll be fine though. Adds a bit of much needed spice to his character. good luck to him.

      @ P'Lo. I assume he didn't because he (or at least, his agent) has an agreement with the papers that they would 'break' the story first. He has to play the media game.

      Ahhh u gotta feel for him, he is only 19 and everyone has been finger pointing for a long time. Fair play and i hope he gets a fella soon, cos i recon he could do wth a good ride.
