Jo why, oh, Whiley

Amongst things we can safely say the world could do well without is a "more credible" version of the X-Factor. Especially one with Jo Whiley in the "Sharon Osbourne role":

"It's going out in the lead up to Christmas. I'm the Sharon Osbourne of the panel - I was horrible to some people and when I woke up in the morning, I felt sick and unclean."

When Jo says "in the lead-up to Christmas", she means the miserable time of year when everything gets grey and dark.

We're at a loss to how you can have a "credible" talent show; it's like an ethical war, isn't it?
