“Ninety-nine per cent [of the reaction] is amazing,” he explained.<\/p>\n
“Compared to when I was on The X Factor seven years ago, it was more like 50\/50 then.<\/p>\n
“There were a lot of things being said online, good and bad, but now it’s completely the other way; it’s so positive. <\/p>\n
“Sometimes it’s a lot to get your head around… but in terms of how much I appreciate it and how amazing it is, it’s really special.”<\/p>\n
He continued: “I’m not Ed Sheeran, but it is at the point now where everywhere I go, people stop me and talk to me about my songs.<\/p>\n
“It’s blown my mind that that even happens.”<\/p>\n
Mallet appeared on ITV’s The X Factor in 2017 and got as far as the live shows.<\/p>\n
He said since then his career had gone from “strength to strength”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Ninety-nine per cent [of the reaction] is amazing,” he explained. “Compared to when I was on The X…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":65932,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[96,391,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-65931","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-tv","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65931","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65931"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65931\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65932"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65931"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65931"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
