The winner of the first X Factor - Steve Brookstein, has signed up to provide the musical entertainment on a P&O Ferries Mini Cruise, along with other former contestants whose careers have sunk without a trace.

Steve will join Chico and Journey South on the 'P&O Stars From X Factor Mini Cruise', a three-night round trip from Portsmouth to Bilbao in Spain.

Steve's career never really took off after winning the show and he was later dumped by his record company.

As a source puts it, "Leona Lewis and Shayne Ward are moving on, but it's fair to say this trio aren't hitting the high notes anymore."

Former goat-herder, Chico, is not giving up hope though - he plans to release a new album in the summer.
