In an interview with Now Magazine Sean Miley Moore, who is starring in X FACTOR said that despite the haters, he is the voice of confidence and a “proud gay man”
Seann Miley Moore has put the haters in their place by telling Now Magazine,
“I’m a proud gay man. Haters are gonna hate, but they’re usually the insecure ones. I just blow them a kiss. Hopefully I can be a voice of confidence.”
The confident singer wowed the judges in his first audition when he sang Queen’s hit The Show Must Go On.
He told the audience and judges that he had flown half way around the world and put his entire life on hold in order to audition for X FACTOR UK.
His confidence hasn’t always been strong. He spoke about a time he was “afraid” and said that how he dressed and behaves is “the new normal”.
He also told Now how he has in the past suffered verbal and physical abuse. He said,
“I’ve gone through verbal and physical abuse and people will still shout things as I walk down the street, but it doesn’t faze me any more”.
He was chosen by Nick Grimshaw to become one of the openly gay Radio 1 presenter’s boys, ensuring his place as one of 12 finalists who are to go head to head in the live shows that start tonight (31st October).

Speaking in a recent interview Moore said that audiences who soon see even more of what he had to offer in terms of his style. He said,
Winning the show is the reason why I flew half way across the world. The live shows are the next level. This is where I would get my dancers, fog, tight leather outfits. This is where it gets real.”
Here’s the the first look at the X FACTOR finalists house.
We’ve managed to get a sneak peak inside the X FACTOR finalists’ house, thanks to Zoopla. The 7 bedroom £7 Million house features a swimming pool, cinema room and car lift. So the lucky 12 finalists will be living in the lap of luxury.
Located in one of Barnet’s most sought-after streets, Zoopla can reveal that the property was previously put on the market for £7million when it was last up for sale in 2013.
X Factor’s Seann Miley Moore has said that he wants to see all the boys in the contest in heels before the end of the season.
The Australian born star who wowed the judges in his first audition with a powerful version of Queen’s The Show Must Go On has said in an interview that he wants to see all the boys in his category to wear heels by the end of the season.
He said,
“All the boys are amazing. We’ve been chatting about having a night in with beers and watching a movie like Entourage. I’m hoping to get them all in heels!”
Talking about his ground-breaking first audition he said,
“I keep watching it over and over again and sobbing, I was so happy and proud to have done that. That moment was 3 years of studying in theatre school, 2 years of saving my money, and getting on a plane to put myself out there. It came down to that moment. That acceptance and love was overwhelming.
Here they are… the 12 campest moments from X Factor
Another chance for the weird and wonderful to grace our TV screens with glittery performances and outrageous outfits. There has been many a camp moment over the years and this year will no different. Now we take a look back at some of the great, and not so great contestants and their camp moments during the last 12 years.
Chico (Series 2, 2005)
It’s Chico time…You can’t have a camp list without Chico and his time. So naturally his campest moment is Chico Time from week 6. But it comes to something when you can’t even beat the dull as dishwater Andy Abraham who finished second eventually.
Same Difference (Series 4, 2007)
Well what can one say about the eternally smiling, incredibly close, brother and sister duo Same Difference, who every week the viewers had to be reminded were brother and sister. Their constantly upbeat and sparkly performances really puts them in the camp category, but I would have to say their campest moment would be the performance of “Blame it on the Boogie”.
Rhydian Roberts (Series 4, 2007)
Rhydian with his jawline that could carve a steak, how do I best describe him? Well his shock of white blond hair made him stand out every week and his operatic style voice propelled him into second place that year to eventually lose to Leon Jackson. He was larger than life and put on quite the show every week. However his campest moment came in week 5 of the live shows when dressed as a sailor he sang The Pet Shop boys classic “Go West”.
Alexandra Burke & Beyonce (Series 5, 2008)
Not exactly a camp moment in itself, but it got all the gays moist with excitement when Alexandra Burke started singing “Listen” by Beyonce, and low & behold the lady herself glided effortlessly on stage and completely stole the show with her powerful vocals that helped Alexandra win the whole series.
John & Edward Grimes AKA Jedward (Series 6, 2009)
Oh Jedward, you distressingly annoying pair of idiots. From the word go with their hybrid American/Irish accent I knew I would hate them and every week I willed them to not make it any further. Jedward started the trend of having at least one “entertaining” contestant rather than actual talent. Their vocals harmed TV speakers over the whole country and while it’s difficult to pick a best camp moment out of the many they decided to inflict us with, I’m going to have to go with their dreadful, red PVC suit wearing rendition of “Oops I Did it Again”.
Diva Fever (Series 7, 2010)
If gay was personified, it would be Diva Fever, who didn’t exactly sing a whole lot. The public were never entirely sure if they were watching a singing act or a dressage performance. They only managed to survive 2 weeks in the live shows but they certainly left an impression with their high camp moments from the auditions through to the live shows.
Katie Waissel (Series 7, 2010)
Song destroying Katie Waissel, who many people think didn’t deserve her place because she rarely made it through a full song during the auditions, managed to outdo herself in the camp factor during week 4 of the live shows. Dressed in a birds nest on her head and bright white eyelashes, along with dancers with inflatable pumpkins she mutilated the theme song to “Bewitched”.
Wagner (Series 7, 2010)
I can’t pick one camp moment from Wagner because he did so many hilarious mash-ups of various camp classics. Trouble was, he took himself seriously and thought he was amazing while the rest of the country didn’t. He managed to cause controversy when he described Cheryl as “A girl from a council estate who got lucky” and not long after he was booted from the competition after a series of rants about the show
Johnny Robinson (Series 8, 2011)
A Kylie Minogue classic, a kimono and a fan that threatened to upstage him, made for the campest moment of this series with Johnny Robinson singing “Can’t Get You Out of my Head”. No other contestant could’ve pulled this off quite like Johnny did, so it made quite the interesting performance.
Rylan Clark (Series 9, 2012)
Nicole, Nicole, Nicole, why did you do this to us and inflict Rylan upon the world. The perma-tanned, TOWIE wannabe who cried in a very scary way was forced upon us, despite his obvious absence of talent. And most weeks he was there, he murdered camp classics but managed to survive to come 5th. But the controversial deadlock decision by Louis Walsh in week one against the slightly boring yet more talented Carolynne Poole made people start to openly question the validity of the show.
Stevi Ritchie (Series 11, 2014)
This time it’s Simon Cowell’s fault. Stevi Ritchie was the one who looked like the creepy, friend of the family who you were forced to call “uncle”. He certainly tried his best each week despite his lack of vocal ability, and his campest moment had to be the strangely Egyptian themed version of “I’m Still Standing”.
Seann Miley Moore (Series 12, 2015)
Anyone who comes on stage in high heeled boots, a fur jacket and a see-through top has to be a camp moment. Singing The Show Must Go On, he does have a good singing voice, and might actually break the curse of being the irritating “entertaining” one and actually be talented instead. We’ll just have to see if he makes it through to the live shows.
Jamie Lambert, from the Britain’s, Got Talent band Collabro has criticised X FACTOR for “parading” a gay married couple in last night’s show like “animals in a zoo.”
Grimshaw, who is currently part of the judging panel said,
“It felt like you meant it and there was so much sincerity in it and I think that’s why everyone liked it in here. I could feel the love coming off you.”
“You are a prime example to our generation and I am so glad gay marriage was legalised in this country,”
However, it seems as Jamie Lambert is less than impressed and tweeted that he felt that the X FACTOR producers were “parading gay married couples around like animals in a zoo”.
A number of his followers on Twitter seemed to agree with Jamie, with one saying, “Completely agree! It was sweet but they really weren’t that good….x”
Lambert revealed that he was gay, in an interview with The Sun, after Collabro won the 2014 series of BGT.
X FACTOR hopeful Ollie Marland sent his friend to a gay bar, it seems as a practical joke.
Sonny Jay, took to Twitter in February to show his followers that he had been sent to a gay bar by his mate Olly Marland, who is appearing in tonight’s episode of X FACTOR.
Sonny tweeted a picture of himself looking embarrassed and covering his face in a text message he shared on Twitter, saying,
“Dude you sent me to gay bar”
and then pointing out an individual in the corner continued,
“That’s a man”
It transpires that Sonny had asked his mate Ollie for a good place to visit whilst in Manchester and Ollie sent him to a bar on Canal Street.
Ollie, from Stoke-On-Trent, has already come under some criticism after he was exposed not to be a “newcomer” to the music scene having already toured with McBusted and has over 91,000 followers on Twitter and over 311,000 followers on Facebook.
Chris Kennedy and his partner Gabriel Cabrera could make X FACTOR history tonight if they make it through to the judges’ houses.
The pair, who met on a karaoke website, auditioned in front a 3000 strong audience and of course the 4 judges in a bid to make it through to boot camp and the judges’ houses. The couple go by the name The Shures.
The married couple, Chris, 28 and Gabriel, 32 who both live in Milton Keynes sang Ellie Goulding’s Love Me Like You Do, to an audience that was clearly loving the love in.
Openly gay judge, Nick Grimshaw commented,
“It felt like you meant it and there was so much sincerity in it and I think that’s why everyone liked it in here. I could feel the love coming off you.”
“You are a prime example to our generation and I am so glad gay marriage was legalised in this country,”
“Gabriel you are the better singer in my opinion and I guess your voices do work well together but I think that when he took the lead, the song was much, much better.”
