X Factor star Sam Callahan has apologised this week after being caught sending raunchy photos of himself to a female fan.
The 19 year-old from Great Totham made it to the final seven from over 100,000 contestants after a number of eye-catching performances.
The star admitted letting down his family and friends after taking part in what he called 'a bit of fun.'
During the course of the show the former barman at Maldon's OAKhouse developed a close relationship with fellow contestant Tamera Foster, who admitted recently to the Chronicle that they were "very close friends."
This week the voting figures for the X Factor were released revealing the percentage of votes for each contestant each week.
