Following the news last week that Joe McElderry has been 'released from his contract' with Syco, it was announced today that Shayne Ward is in a similar position.
Eagle-eyed fans had already feared the worse when Ward tweeted ":-(" last week.
Despite perÂformÂing during the live run of last year's series, Ward's third album 'Obsession' missed the UK Top 10 (due to being shit) and the second single was scrapped.
A Syco spokesÂperÂson told The Sun: "After five very sucÂcessÂful years and an interÂnaÂtional career which saw him sell over 3.2 million records, Shayne's contract has come to an end."
This means the only male winner still signed to Syco is Matt Cardle.
