X Factor producers have come under fire over rumours that Marcus Collins has been getting backstage Botox injections.

According to The Mirror, the 23-year-old (yes, 23!!) has undergone four face-freezing treatments since this year’s show began.

Some even suggested that the singer’s latest round of jabs had gone wrong, forcing him to wear a hairpiece to cover what looked like a receding hairline (a claim that has since been denied).

Medical experts and TV campaigners alike have reacted to the news with horror.

Lesley Reynolds Khan, from the Harley Street Skin Clinic, told the paper, “The people looking after him should be saying No. He has a whole lifetime to worry about lines.”

And Vivienne Paterson of Mediawatch claimed the singer is setting a “bad example for young viewers” by resorting to Botox at such a young age.
An X Factor insider revealed that Marcus had admitted to having treatment but insisted the jabs were not set up by show bosses.

The source said, “He is really embarrassed his secret is coming out. He denies having a hairpiece.”

What do you think – should X Factor bosses put a stop to Marcus’ Botox treatments? Leave your comments below…
