See X Factor's Stevi Ritchie In Amazing Chat Show Pilot

Talent show hopeful previously wanted to be a TV presenter...

He might currently be winning the nation over as the longest-lasting "novelty" contestant on this year's X Factor - but the series is not Stevi Ritchie's first stab at finding fame.

Just last year the pop hopeful - being mentored by Simon Cowell on the ITV talent show - was trying his hand at being a TV quiz show host.

And we're happy to say that the hilariously naff video evidence still remains on YouTube.

Titled "Stevie Ritchie's Street Quiz" (he's obviously dropped the E since), the pilot sees the 34-year-old dressed like a wide-boy estate agent as he accosts members of the public in a Co-Op car park in Cranbrook, Kent.

Explaining that he's "filming a pilot for ITV 1", he proceeds to ask them who built the town's mock windmill in 1814 - giving a multiple choice answer.

And he proves he's got his patter down when one of the ladies he is quizzing expresses an interest in cookery.

"Very nice! I might have to try that one day with you, if you don't mind," he says.

Stevi will be performing along with the rest of the remaining acts on Saturday's "fright night" show.
