X Factor runner-up Chris Maloney may get “star treatment” on tour – because the other finalists can’t stand the sight of him.
His unpopularity with the other singers could earn him private rehearsals and an exclusive backstage area.
Contestants have been calling for Kye Somes to take Maloney’s place on stage for the gigs in January and February after the third-placed singer turned up smelling of drink and insulted them.
But he BEGGED bosses to allow him on the money-spinning tour.
A source said: “There is unhappiness over this decision to let him back. He wasn’t universally liked whatsoever.”
Now producers are considering measures so he spends as little time with other finalists as possible.
These would include giving him his own dressing room and separate rehearsal times.
Kye revealed earlier this series how the Scouser shunned the rest of the hopefuls, except when a cameraman was present.
He said: “There’s two people. One when cameras are there and one when they’re not.”
Carolynne Poole claimed Chris “lost it” backstage at Sunday’s final and hurled foul-mouthed abuse at her. She said Chris, 34, beaten into third place on Saturday by James Arthur and Jahmeme, turned up for rehearsals apparently drunk and started to shout at her.
Carolynne, 32, out in week one, said: “He was horrible. Basically, because I didn’t say ‘hi’
Chris denied the reports and insisted doctors told him to pull out because of a sore throat.
On Sunday he tweeted X Factor’s press team: “Can’t believe the bull. This is a witch hunt for defo, the show is over.” Yesterday Maloney’s management didn’t return emails.
