After the antics of previous X Factor finalists have too much for staff at London's hotels, the show's makers have plumped to put the latest batch up in a £5m house – previously owned by Lionel Richie, naturally – so they can cause carnage in privacy. The Sun reports that producers have added a "fun ban", which includes no using the pool, but they may have missed a trick here. Throw in a few cameras, maybe a couple of "tasks" to complete, perhaps a public vote on their antics and sell it to Channel 4 or Channel 5. Oh, hang on a minute.
