X Factor Winner Shayne Ward Dropped By Simon Cowell

X Factor winner Shayne Ward has been dropped from Simon Cowell's record label Syco.

The singer, who won the talent show in 2005, was told his contract wouldn't be renewed after his latest album 'Obsession' only charted at number 15.

A source told The Sun: “Shayne's a nice lad and works hard but people just don't seem to want to buy his music.”

Ward sold over 3.2million records during his five years on Syco.

But he is now the fourth male winner of The X Factor to be dropped by the record label.

Last week, Joe McElderry was let go just two years after winning the programme. Leon Jackson and Steve Brookstein were also dropped.
