Young: 'X Facor' like a 'soap'

Will Young has taken a swipe at 'The X Factor', likening the ITV1 show to a "soap opera".

Despite shooting to fame when he beat Gareth Gates to be crowned champion of 'Pop Idol' in 2002, the 'Jealousy' hitmaker thinks the programme has drifted too far away from the "nicely naive" talent show it once was.
