Bootle lad Anthony Russell has had not one but two shots at xfactor stardom and today he talks to me about the stories behind the tabloid headlines. 

In his own words check out his version of events and the impact those moments have had on both him and his family. 

Ahead of his Liverpool gig this month he talks us through his journey from childhood to present day and what I think you’ll find quite refreshing is Anthony’s honesty. 

He is the first to admit that he’s made huge mistakes and is not afraid to open up about his life and addictions, how he is desperately trying to change the ending of his xfactor story and the stars who reached out to help him. Find out who the ladies of Liverpool are helping him daily to keep moving forward. 

Wishing you lots of love and luck Anthony x
