‘X Factor’ girl group 4th Impact have revealed that they won’t be letting any of their male contestants turn their heads during this year’s competition, as they’ve all taken a vow of chastity.
The four-piece sister act, who hail from the Philippines originally, have told reporters that their mother has made them swear not to have sex or even kiss a man before marriage, despite one of them having a boyfriend.
However, the girls also admit that the no-boys rule might actually help them later down the line, should they make it through to live shows, and have to share a house with the rest of the contestants.
“Some boys are good looking here, but we can’t pay attention to them. We just want to think about winning as we would love to live in London full time. If there are parties we will just drink soft drinks.”
Irene, Almira, Celina and Mylene have so far sailed their way through the competition with their imaginative and energetic routines, but their ‘X Factor’ journey hasn’t been without its controversy.
Back in series four, 15-year-old Emily Nakanda was one of the early favourites to win the show, but had to back out, after a video emerged showing her violently attacking another teenage girl.Reports at the time said Emily was asked to leave the competition by producers, or risk being axed.

Many have branded the final stage of Bootcamp cruel, with some hopefuls gaining a place at Judges' Houses only to have to give it up later, but Simon Cowell clearly doesn't mind, as it's back for 2015.

You two have to kiss and make up." (credit:ITV)

A turning point for Cheryl's popularity with the British public came when she was met with a backlash for putting both Cher Lloyd and Katie Waissel through to the live shows, over viewers' favourite Gamu, despite neither of them finishing their performances at judges' houses.Reports later suggested that Gamu could be facing deportation from the UK - adding to the backlash against Cheryl - though the aspiring singer was later insistent this was not the case.
