"X Factor contestant Rylan Clark has angrily stated that viewers need to be &amp;quot;locked away&amp;quot; for the homophobic abuse they have been sending him online, declaring: &amp;quot;Enough is enough.&amp;quot; The controversial singer lashed out against the &amp;quot;absolutely disgraceful&amp;quot; comments on Twitter, stressing that he is just an &amp;quot;honest and genuine&amp;quot; person who has not used &amp;quot;sob stories&amp;quot; about his &amp;quot;seriously ill&amp;quot; mother to his advantage.  &amp;quot;Don&amp;#039;t think people understand some of the stuff that I get sent day in and day out,&amp;quot; he wrote. &amp;quot;Some of you should be locked away for your comments...regarding my sexuality, it&amp;#039;s absolutely disgraceful. Imagine that was your son or brother that was receiving those messages enough is enough.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m a 24 year old normal boy who has auditioned for Xfactor, never come from money, my mother is seriously ill, and not one have I used that...as a sob story or a reason to validate my place on the show. &amp;quot;I would rather be judged on the reason why I&amp;#039;m actually on the show to sing...and perform.&amp;quot; He continued: &amp;quot;I TOTALLY understand I haven&amp;#039;t got the best voice in the competition but have proved that I can just stand there and sing...for those of you that have supported me thank you [so] much.&amp;quot;   Clark then appeared to make another dig at fellow X Factor star Christopher Maloney by saying that &amp;quot;the truth will always out&amp;quot; - a phrase he used when questioned about the Liverpudlian&amp;#039;s alleged diva behaviour in a previous magazine interview.  &amp;quot;The truth will always out in the end and I look forward to the day when people see that I have been...honest and genuine throughout and polite to everyone during this process,&amp;quot; he said, before &amp;quot;signing off&amp;quot;. The comments mark Clark&amp;#039;s second Twitter tirade of the day after he hit back at X Factor judge Gary Barlow for describing him as &amp;quot;absolute s**te&amp;quot; at a gig this week.
