If Akira wasn't ill I'd probably be at work
I'm thinking of going for the X-factor angle rather than heart of gold.

so far I have "My dad died when I was younger and my mum had to raise us on her own. I was bullied in school and had to have my leg rebuilt with metal pins. Then in December of 2009 my daughter got a cough and was....sniff....a bit snuffly. So i've come on the X-factor to pull at your heart strings and guilt trip you in to voting for me"

Needs working on a bit. I intend to take Crack and Smack next week so I can say "I used drugs but not anymore" as well.

Maybe you could recuperate at Simon's Mustique pad. Maybe Sinitta could make you some soup.
