X Factor runner-up Rebecca Ferguson has unveiled the touching video for ‘I Hope’, her first single from her highly-anticipated second album.
‘I Hope’, out on 24 November, is an uplifting track which at first sounds like a sensible goodbye to an ex-lover but the video promo shows it’s also about wishing the best to anyone experiencing a hard time.
The Liverpool-born songstress’ second album ‘Freedom’, which follows her million-selling debut ‘Heaven’, comes out on December 2.
Ferguson has claimed £100,000 went missing following her stint on X Factor.
The platinum-selling singer said she was conned by fake friends, while making her debut album back in 2010. She told Daily Record: “I had money, well over £100,000, stolen from me from people I trusted who sought to gain from me. It’s really disgusting.”
The mother-of-two reported the incident in March leading to the suspects being arrested on suspicion of fraud before being given bail. However, Ferguson said she is doubtful she will ever see the missing money again, but hopes justice will be done.
She said: “I think they spent it. Again it’s more the betrayal of trust of people, who got really close to me.
“I think I was so naive to the world but I feel I have become a woman now and am more aware of what goes on in the world. Not everyone is good.”
Merseyside Police confirmed: “The investigation is ongoing and no one has been charged at the moment.”
