The X Factor contestant Katie Waissel says she was left emotionally "numb" and "petrified" thanks to online trolling, and viewers were manipulated into believing the show made would-be stars rich and famous, when "it does not".
The trainee lawyer reached the quarter final of the talent contest in 2010, but speaking to the Star, she says she would erase her time on the show, which was axed in the summer, if she could.
Katie, 36, wants to change the Human Rights Bill that would allow musicians to file claims under the Human Rights Act rather than the proposed Bill of Rights, introduced by Deputy Prime Minister, Dominic Raab, and has even written to the MP to request a meeting.
