TV talent show villain Simon Cowell is reportedly thrilled about his new project X Factor: The Musical in which the star of the show will live in a caravan.
The musical, based on the reality television singing competition, is said to “quite likely [.] offend current and former stars of the show”, by creating caricatures of the celebrities and contestants, an unnamed source told The Daily Mail.
This includes a character named Geordie who spends most of the time crying into a Chelsea shirt – any idea who that could be?!
Cowell’s company, Syco, has reportedly put £10 million towards the project which will be staged in the West End next year.
The musical had a read through of the script in London last week, which reportedly left Simon “ecstatic with the script. He was in tears of laughter at the read-through.”
The story follows one contestant, named Shenise, and her journey on the ITV show from living in a caravan to finding fame and fortune on the show.
This plot seems very similar to the new Spice Girls musical Viva Forever! which features a contestant named Viva who lives on a houseboat – but we think a caravan makes for a much better storyline.
