Ejected X-Factor contestant, the lovely Maria Lawson, is all set to sign a £1m record deal, according to The Sun. Quite a few labels are said to have been interested in signing the thirty year old singer, not surprisingly, because she's very good.
A source told the tabloid: "She's going from strength to strength. Her career really is on the up. She's getting £8,000 a night while the rest of the finalists get just £150 for their performances on a Saturday evening."
