Former ‘X Factor’ contestant Chloe-Jasmine Whichello has confessed had a relationship with fellow contestant Stevi Ritchie.
The 23-year-old singer has admitted to having the fling – which led to her being dumped by her boyfriend, Craig Wiffen – but she doesn’t feel bad about the affair because it was destined to happen.
She said: "I’m not ashamed of what I did, because I believe it was part of God’s divine plan.
"It probably didn’t help that I didn’t tell Craig straight away, but I didn’t really have a chance to."
However, while the talent show reject admitted the pair’s secret tryst should not have taken place, she explained she deserves forgiveness for her actions, and doesn’t understand why her ex can’t get over it
She told The Sun newspaper: "I made a mistake. You should be able to make a mistake and be forgiven. If I went to my parents and said I’d made a mistake they would still love me, it wouldn’t change anything.
"But for some reason, it doesn’t work that way in relationships, and I don’t really know why that is."
The blonde beauty was booted off the reality programme after the second live show, while her former lover received the axe last night (23.11.14) when he found himself in the bottom two alongside 20-year-old fan-favourite Andrea Faustini.
The revelation comes just a week after Chloe-Jasmine’s ex claimed Stevi had fabricated the whole affair.
Craig said: "Stevi lied through his teeth. He said he was sorry, but he thought Chloe was single – something he later admitted was lies.
"If you’ve done something wrong, for God’s sake, at least be man enough to own up to the truth.
"Then he tried to blame ‘The X Factor’. He said he’d felt under a huge amount of pressure to have feelings for Chloe because it was driving his ‘campaign’."
