THE X Factor’s Janet Devlin has told how she considered suicide during her stint on the ITV show.
The singer, who came fifth in the 2011 series when Little Mix won, claimed at first show bosses were only concerned about her being able to perform.
But when she spoke about her dark thoughts, she was taken to a doctor for tests. Janet also claimed others were going through the same thing.
She said: “During my time on the show the dark clouds came back in full force. If I wasn’t rehearsing a performance or surrounded by other contestants at the X Factor house, I would be contemplating suicide, though I could never bring myself to think that word.”
Janet said she would “daydream” about suicide and added: “Something had to be done. I spoke to the crew on the show. To my surprise, I was reassured that I wasn’t the only one going through it.
“That other contestants had been visiting a therapist and psychologist as well. The day after, I was taken to London’s Harley Street for an assessment.”

This was not good news. Proof, were it needed, of just how on the edge of suicide I was.”
Janet, who has just released her third album, Confessional, said in new biography My Confessional: “For months I’d put on a brave face for the cameras but the truth was, I was broken.
“No one around me even cared enough to ask if I was all right. So long as I was ready for the performance, that’s all that mattered.

“The medication robbed me of my ability to express myself creatively. My song-writing felt forced and the lyrics disingenuous. I began to use alcohol as a replacement for the medication. Nothing worked.”
An X Factor source told me last night: “The health and welfare of contestants on the show is their utmost concern and if anything like this occurs there are experts on hand to address it.”

It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
That is why The Sun launched the You’re Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
Let’s all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others… You’re Not Alone.
If you, or anyone you know, needs help dealing with mental health problems, the following organisations provide support:
