While she was undoubtedly hoping her voice would get the nation talking – sadly it was her cosmetics routine that set tongues wagging and finger tweeting.
X Factor hopeful Scarlett Lee caused a stir on Saturday night when her deep mahogany tan was met with a barrage of comments from viewers who were stunned not only at her make-up but also her job – as a make-up artist.
