A BEHIND the scenes meeting with X-Factor stars Jedward and finalist Stacey Solomon, was the reward for a group of Forest fans.

Matthew Clayden from Primrose Hill near Lydney won VIP tickets to the X-Factor tour at the Cardiff International Arena for two nights. They included meet and greet tickets for identical twins, John and Edward – hence 'Jedward' and 2009 finalist, Stacey Solomon, the singing single mum from Dagenham who, it is revealed, has a nan in Coleford.

Joining Matthew were Vicky Stinchcombe from Alvington, Kelly McDaid from Tutshill, Sarah Jeffery from Cinderford, Sarah Dovey from Parkend and Polly Walters from Tutshill.
