Delays Blow Chico's Cover

The Delays have blown Pop Idol star Chico’s cover - claiming he puts on his comedy accent.

The Valentine rockers met Chico – who claims to be a Welsh-Moroccan ex-goatherder – back stage at Top Of The Pops as he prepared to perform his new number one single 'It’s Chico Time'.

However, the band were shocked to discover the pop chancer conveniently lost his bizarre pigeon-English accent as soon as he was off screen.

Keyboardist Aaron tells the Daily Star, “He was slinking around backstage and was merrily chatting away to people in a broad London accent.

“I said ‘Hello’ to him and he was all ‘Alwight mate’. It’s weird.”
