The Mills of God grind slowly...

For reasons we can't begin to fathom, Sony-BMG have signed a five album deal with Ben Mills, the bloke with a neck twice the width of his head who didn't make it through to the finals of The X Factor.

Five albums? The first is going to feature the usual sludge of covers he did on the show (covers he did so poorly he didn't make it through to the finals) and stuff he's written himself, using the talents he's honed managing a tent company in Kent. God alone knows what the other four will be, if they ever get made.
