After his early exit from the X Factor finals in 2010, Aiden Grimshaw went AWOL from the celebrity circuit, until being snapped up by RCA Records earlier this year, resurfacing at The Great Escape. His debut single ‘Is This Love’ peaked at #35 and was followed by the mawkishly named album ‘Misty Eye’. Grimshaw and his team have insisted the show is strictly over 16s only, leading us to wonder whether most of his fanbase have been excluded. (JF)
