Trouble continues to catch up with Altiyan Childs, with the X-Factor winner stripped of his driver's licence after pleading guilty to driving under the influence of methamphetamine and cannabis in Taree Court last week.

In an interview with the Kyle and Jackie O Show, Childs did not deny that the events leading up to failing the police drug test happened ("This joint went around and I had a couple of tokes") and was prepared to face the consequences of his actions ("Whatever will happen will happen).

On the subject on his supposed fallout with his X-Factor mentor Ronan Keating, Childs had this to say…

Childs also recited a statement about what happened, and the media weren't spared…

The bad news doesn't seem to end there, with Rockdale Council planning to strip Childs of the keys to the city, originally awarded to him after performing at the opening of their redeveloped town centre. However, it also appears that Childs will be releasing a new album down the track.

Previously Childs has had to clear up allegations about his personal life from his former management and being overlooked to perform on the second season of X-Factor.

Is this the end of Altiyan Childs, or are things starting to look up for him?
