Louis Walsh!’ Walsh, top record producer and The X Factor judge, now manages Shayne’s career. ' was talking to Simon Cowell (celebrity record producer) yesterday!” He shakes his head in amazement. And these people are telling me they're excited about working with me. I can’t get my head round it. 2 Shayne is about as natural as any pop star arriving in the public arena can be. ‘I just can't accept where | am now,’ he says sincerely. ‘It doesn’t feel real. To me, this is just a job.’ ‘What do you think being famous feels like?’ | ask him. ‘'m not sure, to be honest. Different from this?” he laughs, with only a hint of nerves. 3 Since winning The X Factor, Shayne's success has been phenomenal. His debut to reach the number one spot. On tour, he’s going to gle took just three days gets a chance.’ But the previous winner of The X Factor only had one hit. He hasn't been heard of since then. Is. Shayne Ward going to be another talent show flop? «36 Alot of people feel cynical about reality TV show winners and their chances of continuing success. Audiences usually lose interest in them as soon as the show has finished. In fact, contestants on shows like Big Brother are given severe warnings from the show's producers beforehand, basically telling them ‘you will not be liked’, Talent shows like The X Factor have to offer contestants a kind of stardom though, and something they can think of as a career, for a few months afterwards at least. s87 Later, | hear four songs that will appear on Shayne’s debut album.

Times were hard, but he has never wished for a different childhood. Although he thought about going to college, he ended up leaving school at sixteen, just to help his mum pay the rent. He set out on his reality show journey shortly afterwards. When he told his friends he had an audition for The X Factor, none of them really believed him. ‘| thought I'd go for it because my family wanted me to, but never really believed that I would win. 5 Naturally, Ward is a fan of reality TV talent shows. “They're brilliant, because people who want recording contracts try for years and get nowhere. Then these competitions come along and the people at home decide whether they like the singers or not.

Then she became a teenager from hell Expelled from school, she hung around the streets, getting into trouble. Sixteen-year-old Jemma was equally impossible. She'd do anything to get what she wanted, including shoplifting! And Joe, sixteen, was so badly-behaved he bullied his own mum! The teenagers were out of control and heading for disaster. But their parents had one last trick up their sleeves! As a last resort, they sent their kids off for three months’ behaviour therapy at Turn-about Ranch, in the wids of Utah, USA. With them went four other spoiled ‘brats’. Their time at the camp was filmed for the hit TV series Brat Camp, B The seven teenagers had a lot in ‘common. Ed, sixteen, was a liar and ‘a cheat and had stolen from his own brothers. Josh, fifteen, had a temper that frequently got him into trouble. Alex, fifteen, was violently aggressive. ‘And Jenni, sixteen, was rude and moody and determined to embarrass her parents in any way she could. The teenagers had got away with murder at home. But they were in for a shock! Waiting for them at the airpor in the USA was the boss of Turn-about. A tough ex-cop, he ruled the ranch with a rod of iron. Anyone trying to mess him about Would find themselves in deep trouble! Life got worse when the teenagers reached ‘Turn-about, an isolated cattle ranch. At the camp there Was neither electricity nor running water! Sitting outside their log cabin that first night, the teenagers were given, the rules of the camp. "You must get up at 6.30 a.m.,’ “You ‘must not swear’ “You must ask permission before doing, anything.’ Confused and homesick, the teenagers begged to go home. But it was a waste of time. The ranch was in the middle of nowhere and contact with parents and friends was forbidden, There was no escape! D Level one of the therapy began the next morning, It was designed to give the teenagers a nasty shock. And it certainly did! The kids were forced to spend three whole days sitting outdoors in small stone circles, in total silence. If any of them needed to leave the circle, they had to ask for permission, They couldn't even go to the toilet alone! If they were disrespectful to the staff, they were punished, and the rules got even stricter! c Summarise eS eer eon Pe Mee oe Sou tee] cee Seer Penna en pies Re es acura aad ec are Lae Brat Camp! ater eeaotwag E Alter three days the teenagers went on to the next level of the behaviour therapy. The staff at Turn-about Ranch are real-life cowboys, who believe hard work is the best therapy for rebellious teens. The teenagers were expected to take part in ranch activites, like rounding up cattle on horseback, harvesting ‘and mending fences. Work didn't stop, however hot and dusty or cold and snowy it' was. In fact, there was no free time at all Atnight the teenagers slept outdoors. They leamed to light fires and trap animals for food. They were given certain ‘goals, which meant working in a team. If they were disruptive, they had to stay at the ranch even longer. F As the weeks went by, the teenagers 5 ‘acauited a new outlook on life. Joe changed alot: in the cowboys, he found the strong male role models he'd lost when his parents divorced and his father left home. Turn-about changed Xanthe, too. Her mother had remarried when she was fifteen and she realised that envy of her new stepfather had caused her bad behaviour. Turn-about changed the other teenagers too, at least for now...
