Slim and slick: X Factor contestant John Wilding has spent his life savings on a makeoverAxed X Factor contestant John Wilding is so desperate for success he has spent £7,000 on a makeover in a bid to impress the judges this year.
The 18-year-old was dumped from the competition at the Judge’s House stage last year but is making his come back on the show tonight.
He revealed he has used his life savings – around £5000 – to get his teeth fixed, change his wardrobe, and has even gone on the controversial Atkins diet to look more like a star.
Wardrobe malfunction: John has spent a large amount of money on new clothesInspired by judge Tulisa Contostavlos’ £70,000 makeover which included £12,000 porcelain veneers on her teeth, the teenager opted to find a new look so that he would 'look right'.
Last year Wilding got as far as the Judge’s House stage of the competition but mentor Dannii Minogue did not put him through to the live finals.
He is determined to make a comeback and has changed his style, hair, and lost weight.
Big boy: John sings his heart out last year for Dannii Minogue Viewers will see the hopeful audition again on tonight’s show when he sings Love You I Do by Jennifer Hudson.
Wilding from Essex told the Daily Mail: ‘I have lost about a stone and a half, changed my fashion sense, it was a disaster last year. I had a puppy dog jumper on and jeans.
‘There is nothing that can prepare you for seeing yourself on camera on TV, and when you do, what a shock.
Must try harder: Natasha from Swansea fails to get a positive reaction unlike Michelle‘I just looked at myself and thought if I want to sing I am going to need to change a lot. You can be the best singer or the worst singer but if you don’t look right that is it.’
The youngster admitted that he has cut out carbohydrates and sugar from his general diet but still “binged' occasionally.
He said of his 'new teeth': ‘They are not quite Simon Cowell porcelains, I am on the plastic composites.
Tulisa's tears: The tough talking judge breaks down after hearing mum-of-four Michelle sing‘I paid just under £5000 for them, so that was my car out the window. If you sing it is the first thing that you see, so I thought invest in them and the car can come later.’
Wilding admitted he felt under enormous pressure returning to the show because “people expect him to do better'.
He confessed that he “struggled' to cope after losing out last year and despite getting good GCSE results – he only received D grades at A Level because of the stress.
Emotional: Tulisa compares Michelle's voice to her mum'sViewers will also see racy dancer Natasha Paton Ali, 23, from Swansea sing ‘Every Time We Touch’ by Cascada, and traditionally hard-nosed judge Miss Contostavlos moved to tears when 31-year-old mother of four Michelle Barrett, from the Republic of Ireland performs, ‘All The Man I Need by Whitney Houston.
Despite her strong 'raspy vocals' Louis Walsh tells her: 'It wasn’t 100% perfect but it was certainly good enough for me.'
Math teacher John Adams of Aberdare gets positive comments from Tulisa about his looks and impresses judge Gary Barlow with his performance of Damien Rice track Cannonball.
One to watch: John Adams gives a strong performanceTwo girls who have been nicknamed the 'Towie Jedward' will also appear on tonights show and have been tipped to steal the show.
Lucy Texeria, 22, and Charley Bird, 23, who call themselves 2 Shoes, pride themselves on their love of high heeled shoes, heavy makeup and orange tans.
The girls arrived late at the audition in a pink Ford KA and told the judges that: 'when we got to the car park, it was 25 quid to park and we only had a fiver.
So we had to park somewhere else and by the time we got to the audition, we were sweating. What a palaver.'
Lucy describes herself as 'single and ready to mingle' but admits that her and Charley 'are probably the only girls in Essex who haven't got off with Mark Wright.'
Shut up! Essex girls Lucy Texeria and Charley Bird are dubbed the new Jedwardsource: dailymail
