X Factor contestant confirms pregnancy with sweet Valentine’s Day post

"I promise to love and protect you until my very last breath..."

Former X Factor contestant Bupsi Brown has announced she is pregnant in a very sweet way. The 40-year-old, who competed on the show in 2015, was feeling the love on Valentine's Day, as she showed off a photo of her blooming baby bump on Instagram. Alongside a string of red hearts, she wrote:

"I promise to love and protect you until my very last breath... love mama Bupsi."

She made it through to the Judges' Houses and auditioned - and ultimately picked - for Simon's Overs category. She ultimately became the first contestant to be booted out of the live shows, after her rendition of You're A Wonderful One by Marvin Gaye. Following her elimination, she put the blame on her former mentor for his "completely wrong song choice". Speaking to heatworld, she explained:

"I knew it was coming – not because I don’t think I’m good enough. The song was completely wrong. "I wasn’t able to Bupsify the people the way they wanted and they didn’t get it. "I didn’t have any input with the song choice. Simon rang and said, ‘'This is your song.' If I could have changed it I’d have done it in a blink. I’d have never chosen that song."
