The 20 year old student Lascel Wood from Brighton is reportedly caught up in a porn video scandal that could seriously damage his hope for a career in the music industry.
The young X Factor hopeful won over the judges when he initially tried out for the ITV show, after he impressed with his emotional rendition of Kings Of Leon ‘Use Somebody’ and told them about his tough childhood and life in care.
However, though he appeared to be whiter than white, it has been alleged that Lascel once starred in a porn video.
The film apparently features the young hunk naked and carrying out a sex act and an insider told The Sun that the panellists would be shocked if they watched his performance in it.
A source told the newspaper:
“I’m pretty sure Tulisa and the other judges wouldn’t expect Lascel to be involved in anything like this. You can clearly see everything. Lascel was only 18 or 19 when he did it last year, but he was desperate to make money.”
But the move may just have cost Woods his place on the ITV show, as it has been claimed that producers, who had previously considered him to be a real contender for the live rounds – were shocked by the recent revelations and had to rethink his fate.
A source said: “This has come as a massive shock to everyone on the show. Lascel came across as such an innocent, polite young man who had overcome a very challenging start in life.
“To know he would do this on the internet is mind-blowing.
“He was either seriously strapped for cash or involved in a dark world. The X Factor is family viewing. Many people that have dealt with him are livid.”
