A TRANSSEXUAL X Factor contestant says she was labelled a '->-bleeped-<-' in an e-mail sent by researchers from the show.

Pamela-Michelle Giovanni, from Burley, auditioned for the ITV1 show in April.

[...]

But the 46-year-old said she was sent home by producers before her performance due to concerns over her well-being after she complained about an email she received from researchers headed '->-bleeped-<- Pamela'. The student, who had a full sex change five years ago, said: "No-one's contacted me to apologise (about the e-mail). I think it's just disgusting that they used that terminology."
