Being on X Factor ?massively compromised? Matt Cardle apparently?

As we all know, Matt Cardle is a credible musician who takes his craft very, very seriously� - and so he should, he?s credible you know.

Now, as he releases his brand new really dull new single, Matt has spoken out against the very programme that launched him into the limelight saying that being on it ?massively compromised? him.

'I wore yellow trousers and sang Katy Perry?s Firework for f**** sake! Singing pop songs without my guitar and covered in make-up didn?t sit right?

Matt said in an interview with Look magazine this week, who he?s also done a photoshoot with wearing loads of make up (by the looks of it) and fake tattoo sleeves.

The X FACTOR STAR took a further swipe at the show saying:

When I got the record deal I got an advance to keep me housed and fed while making my album. The million pound thing, that?s just for TV.'

He added:

'I hear people in the street saying: ?There?s the guy that won X Factor.? I can?t wait for that to just disappear.'

Oh don?t worry Matt it will, soon no one will recognise you at all.
