Waissel: I'm not a fake

'X Factor' hopeful Katie Waissel has insisted she is not "a fake".

The controversial 24-year-old contestant - who has twice found herself in the bottom two after failing to endear herself to the public - has admitted while she isn't the most talented singer in the world, she is not "an actress" and the person viewers are seeing on the ITV1 show is the real her.
