How low can X Factor go? Contestant's porn video shame revealed as another is axed because of her criminal record

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Favourite: Lascel Wood has denied uploading the sex video of himself

X-Factor has been dealt a double blow after two of its contestants became embroiled in scandal.

The show has hit a new low after it was revealed Lascel Wood was caught performing a sex act on himself in an online video while female contestant Sian Phillips was axed from the show because of her criminal past.

Twenty-year-old Lascel will be appearing on X Factor tonight and tomorrow to see if he makes it through to the judges' houses stage.


Wow: Judge Kelly Rowland was brought to tears after listening to Lascel sing

But he has denied making the porn video and refused to comment.

However, a source close to him said someone else could be responsible for putting the video on the internet.

The singer wowed judges during the audition stages earlier this month and had judge Kelly Rowland close to tears with his rendition of Kings Of Leon's Use Somebody.



Happy: Lascel with his mother Pauline who came onto the stage after his audition

According to the Sun the video was shot using a webcam and shows Lascel lying on his own in the nude before performing the act.

The video was found on a hardcore porn website which people paid £5 to watch.


Criminal past: Sian has served a prison sentence for affray and couldn't travel to the US during the visit to the judge's homes

The price of the video changes depending on its popularity and contributors get a cut of the money based on the number of downloads.

Lascel revealed during the audition that he was in foster care from an early age because his mother Pauline has a bipolar disorder.

She was there to watch him sing for the first time.

Liverpudlian Sian has also brought shame on the show after it was revealed that she had been jailed for affray in May 2009, serving 10 days of a two-month sentence for a fight.


Celebration: Sian was delighted to make it through the bootcamp stages but has now been axed from the show


New line-up: X Factor judges Louis Walsh, Tulisa Contostavlos, Kelly Rowland and Gary Barlow
