2011: X Factor contestant face eviction from Luxury Mansion

Settlers on a farm in Essex are not the only people facing execution this week, The X Factor finalists are also faced with eviction from their luxury £6 million mansion.

The contestant are said to be keeping the place in a very messy state that has now become a fire hazard.

According to the The Mirror, the house is classed as a commercial property, like a hotel, rather than a residential property. As a result, fire escapes must be well marked and kept clear, among other stringent health and safety guidelines.

According to the newspaper, council chiefs have investigated the property and will make a decision today what to do with it.

A source told the newspaper: “The place is a total tip, with all the fire escapes cluttered up and a lack of proper signs indicating proper exits.

“Unlike previous years, the house is designated a commercial property, not just residential – so these rules apply.

“Bosses went ballistic and pledged to get things sorted for the next visit.”

You would like to think if you are lucky enough to stay in a £6 million house with swimming  pool, gym and duck pond, the very last you whould do is  try to keep it tidy.
