Where Are They Now? Joe McElderry

"SIMON COWELL tipped JOE McELDERRY to become the British version of ZAC EFRON after he won X Factor in 2009.
Sadly, these days the Geordie would struggle to get a part in Byker Grove if the show was still on telly.

The Sun's sister paper, The News Of The World, had a big hand in fucking up Joe's career with their constant snide jokes about his sexuality before he felt ready to come out.
