TEARS AS RACHEL EXITS
Rachel broke down in tears as she hit out at negative media for marring her X Factor experience.
The 26 yr old soul singer said she felt ''numb'' about being kicked off after the sing off with JLS.
The former drug addict said '' I think it didn't matter about my performance. Bottom line is I feel I've been judged on my past the whole way through this competition. I wasn't given a chance. ''
The mother of 5 burst into tears as she blamed the media for victimising her by digging up her criminal past, which had led to 3 of her children being taken into care.
''I know I've done drugs, I know I've committed crimes and I'm sorry.
I've lost 3 children. My oldest son is 13 and I don't know what his favourite colour is, thats something I'm not proud of.''

DIANA'S REGRETS
