X Factor hopeful Chloe Victoria Heald, also known as Chloe Mafia, is again making headlines, and this time too it isn’t because of her vocal talent: footage of her snorting cocaine has surfaced in the British media.

The Mirror has video of the 19-year-old mother of one, believed to have been working as an escort all along and, moreover, to use her time on the show to up her going rate, doing several lines of the class A drug in just 50 minutes.

The tab doesn’t say when this took place, but it does mention that Chloe was out partying with a friend before meeting up with a client, while another friend was watching over her 2-year-old daughter.

Besides video evidence of her drug use, the Mirror also says Chloe herself admitted on the night in question about being a regular user and even being in her daughter’s presence while under the influence.

“This job, you know, it gets you bad with the coke. I hadn’t had it for two years and I started doing this work and now I do it every night. If I carry on like this I’ll be a coke-head as well as [an escort],” Chloe says.

She then goes on to detail one particular incident, where she did so many lines (courtesy of a generous client) she was hardly able to walk – and then her daughter came in and saw her in that deplorable state.

This new video, The Mirror believes, should be enough to convince X Factor judges, who have so far refused to axe her from the show, that Chloe is not on it because she wants to be a pop star but because she wants the exposure to make more money.

To make matters even worse, Entertainment STV reports Chloe’s most recent appearance in front of the judges to sing (which airs tonight, Sunday, September 26) was terrible because she was completely hung-over.

“Like a stupid idiot I went out last night when I got here and I haven’t even been to sleep yet. I just feel sick and can taste vodka in my mouth… I’ve got same make up on that I’ve had on since yesterday morning. I just look disgusting,” Chloe herself said by means of an explanation for her bad singing.s

“I’m not happy being no-one, I want to be someone. I’m just praying that when I get on stage I can get through the first part of the song and then it’ll go alright. I just don’t feel ready to go into the biggest audition of my life,” she also said.

As we also noted on a previous occasion, though she didn’t quite impress judges the first time she auditioned, she was allowed through to the next stage, the so-called boot camp stage.

Reports say she will be sent home after her most recent two stints – but fans of the show will only find out whether that is truly the case tonight.
