Moving onto the news topics, it has been announced that a celebrity edition of the X-Factor will be coming to TV screens with the likes of Love Island contestants and actors from Coronation Street competing for a recording contract.

Rounding off the news is the worrying comments made by J-Hus on social media indicating he might be suicidal. Eden leads an impassioned comments on the many pressures artists face from their family, friends, fans and in J-Hus’ case; gang-related rivals and how this can be detrimental to one’s mental health.
