X Factor dream over for ‘unforgettable’ Wagner
Dudley’s most-talked about entertainer Wagner has finally been booted off the X Factor after finding himself in the sing-off.
The wacky 54-year-old from Pensnett was given his marching orders by the judges after facing fellow over 28s contestant Mary Byrne in the weekly vote-off.
Wagner smiled his way through what was possibly his most polished performance on the ITV show – a rendition of the appropriately-titled Nat King Cole track ‘Unforgettable’.
But all four judges – Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, Dannii Minogue and even Wagner’s mentor Louis Walsh – opted to send the borough karate instructor home in tonight’s double elimination, which also ended drama queen Katie Waissel’s X Factor dream.
When asked if he had enjoyed himself during his time on the show – Wagner said he had but he’d missed his cat.
The singer had been the focus of a campaign by X Factor detractors who hoped Wagner would go all the way in the show and steal the coveted Christmas number one slot.

Neighbours News is a non-profit voluntary organisation, formally constitued as a group since September 1999 on the Castle & Priory Ward in Dudley. We produce community newsletters for residents. As of 2004, we have expanded to other areas (most of which are in high deprivation).
We want to get a community newsletter for Brierley Hill circulating, because there is interest, however we need to find any potential funders and anyone who might be interested in sponsoring an edition. High Arcal School in Sedgley has sponsored an edition of the Oval & Tudor News in Upper Gornal, for example.
We remove the official language and put it in plain English for people to understand, keeping them informed about local issues, training and job opportunities, developments, town centre events, etc.
Our local distribution is carried out by community groups and the print group we use trains people with learning difficulties.
We are based on the Pensnett Trading Estate, having relocated offices, due to the demolition work being done on North Priory, where our former premises were in Pine Road.
