UK-based readers will probably remember X Factor contestant Chico Slimani. For people who do not, he is a former – very cheesy – contestant on the reality talent show The X Factor. His catchphrase was: “It’s Chico time!”
What’s he up to now, I hear you cry! Well, his Facebook status reveals that he is writing a “freedom song” with two friends. The song is, he tells us: “about the dying children of Gazza”.
Interesting! Do we think that he is writing a song about the Gaza conflict but isn’t quite as clued up as he thinks he is? Or could it be that Paul Gascoigne’s children are dropping like flies and Chico wanted to offer his own musical tribute?
Looking forward to it either way!


Eeek! I knew Paul Gascgoigne was in a bad way but I didn’t realise that his kids were affected as well.
Chico sounds like an opportunistic twat in this case.
