Hello I’m sure you have heard of the X factor? One of britians most watched tv programmes. Perhaps one of your relatives was on it? Who knows.

Which is very sexist in both ways as some would still say that ‘why does the xfactor have to potray it that way’ ‘we knew girls can go on their anyways’ and a second
