Shayne Ward’s Mobile Phone Porn Virus

‘Top Of The Pops’ caught up with Shayne Ward in a Q&A and asked the ‘X Factor’ champ if he had ever sent a text or an e-mail to the wrong person.

“All the time, yeah. Just recently, I had a virus on my old mobile phone and it was sending everybody messages with the word ‘porn’ on it, sender: Shayne,” he explained. “Obviously you couldn’t open it because it wasn’t me sending it, but if you did try to open it or connect to the internet and download whatever it was, you’d get a virus. So obviously there was a lot of people that I sent that to, and that was embarrassing as well.” Asked if he was asked why is he sending people porn, the singer responded, “That’s what it was! But the funny thing was, most of the people that it went to, they were sending it back saying, ‘Sorry Shayne, I can’t open it. I’m gutted!'”
