X Factor’s Stevi Ritchie ‘to work for Simon Cowell’ after show elimination

Stevi Ritchie was one of the most legendary ‘novelty’ acts The X Factor's had in years.

In a way, we’re going to miss his wobbly leg dance and his on-stage flirting with the female dancers, but it looks like we won’t have to wait long for him to entertain us again as he’s hoping to get a job for Simon Cowell.

Although, as modest as ever, Stevi’s happy to be the music boss’s cleaner after getting the boot from the talent show.

When asked if he was going to miss Simon, Stevi told The Xtra Factor’s Sarah-Jane Crawford: “Yeah, defo. I mean, not just a mentor on the show but, just even away from cameras, as a friend. He’s just absolutely great. So much love for him there, so I will miss him.

“I’m hoping to work for him actually. I dunno, in some way or form. I dunno if it’s sweeping the floor or something like that.”

We have a feeling Stevi’s angling for a part in a West End show after singing his musical-esque version of Donny Osmond’s This Is My Moment during last night's sing-off against Andrea Faustini.

After getting eliminated last night, he said: “Do you know what, the whole experience for me has been an absolute dream. I never thought I’d have gotten this far.

“I want to thank the general public for all of your support. Thank you the lovely judges, Cheryl for bringing me back and my best friend and mentor Simon.”

Well, if you don’t end up working for your buddy, Stevi, you could always go for another trip to Harvester.
