Shayne Ward says X Factor bosses have erased him from ‘history’.

It’s after the singer – along with Matt Cardle, Leon Jackson, Joe McElderry and Steve Brookstein – didn’t feature in a promo for the new series.

Instead it focused on acts who have had more commercial success – including One Direction, JLS and Leona Lewis:

Just seen the new Xfactor promo video.Yet again it's like im being erased slowly from their history.Pathetic reallyWould love to know why?
