FERGUSON CALLS FOR POP PROBE
SINGER Rebecca Ferguson has demanded an inquiry into the music industry to protect artists.
The X Factor star, 34, said she has arranged to meet Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden to discuss musicians’ welfare.
She is the latest celebrity to pile in after Jedward slammed The X Factor and Simon Cowell over their experience on the show.
Rebecca said: “People have warned me for years about doing this or have encouraged me not to speak out, and unfortunately, I realise that my career may be once again affected by speaking out.
“However, enough is enough and musi- cians/artists/creatives need change. A lot of my damage has been done but this is about protecting people in the future.
“We need an immediate inquiry to take place to change the way people are allowed to operate in this industry!
Rebecca was mentored by Cheryl Tweedy on The X Factor in 2010 but they had a happy relationship.
A spokesman for Simon Cowell night declined to comment. last
