X Factor Alan reveals 'truth' about claims
X FACTOR hopeful Alan Turner has revealed what he claims is the full story of his tortured childhood.
The 23-year-old singer from Barnsley claims both parents abandoned him by the age of four and he was abused by a male family friend.
Alan said dad Alan Snr left his mum Debbie Liles when he was just 18 months old and three years later she handed him over to the foster mum who had raised her, because she could not cope with the abuse he had suffered at the hands of a family friend.
Alan, who lives in Monk Bretton, said: "I feel that could be one of the reasons she felt she was not capable of looking after me.
"I haven't seen my dad since I was in my teens and that meeting lasted just a few minutes."
The call centre worker was branded a liar when he told judges on the ITV talent show that he was put into foster care at the age of four and was estranged from his parents.
His father, Alan Snr who now lives in Consett, Co Durham, said he had enjoyed a relationship with his son for years.
He said he last saw his son four years ago, but he regularly spoke to him by telephone until a year ago.
