Parading his nan at every opportunity has come at a price.
Christopher Maloney’s nan has been getting death threats after her latest appearance on The X Factor 2012.
Speaking to Reveal magazine this week, Chris said he and his nan have been trying to ignore the messages sent by crazy fans of the show.
“I never thought being on a TV show could warrant death threats,” he said. “The most recent threat was from someone saying they were going to hunt my Nan down and kill her.
“It is frightening, but we try to ignore it, otherwise we’ll be paranoid and looking over our shoulder all the time.”
Chris previously claimed the judges have made him a target after “ganging up” on him with their comments.
He said: “They are making me out to be a pantomime villain and I’m not. I’m just a genuine normal guy from the backstreets of Liverpool that’s done nothing like The X Factor in my life.”
Christopher went home to see his nan and family in Liverpool earlier this week at his homecoming party with mentor Gary Barlow. Speaking about his homecoming yesterday, Chris said he was left in tears by the amount of support from locals.
Chris, who performed for more than 2,000 fans at the Liverpool Empire, said: “It was absolutely fantastic, the city of Liverpool came out and I’m so proud to be from the north west.
“They were brilliant. There was tears, it was emotional, I haven’t been back home of months.”

It's so unnecessary that they're hassling his family.
I dislike the people bullying him.
I dislike myself for being invested in this awful show.
but i cant stand him or his nan.
their dependency on each other and being on the show is like black mail to the viewers. like if you don't vote for him or if you hate on him, his nan comes out of the wood work and tells everyone she's stressed out from all the hate her grandson is getting.
idk. death threats are a bit much, but it's so common nowawdays. like yesterday this guy behind me kinda got cut off by another car, but not really (we we're agoing 10 mph, it was residential traffic, the other car just wanted to get into the right lane and the asshole in the other car wouldnt let her), so like asshole rolled down his window and followed the car making death threats for like the 5 minutes. it was so dumb and unneccesary.
seems to have peaked in the sanjaya years
seriously tho the internet turns people into such psychos. it's a fucking tv show, get a grip.
However, I'm sure this little old lady is a sweet angel and they need to leave her alone.
omg I hate him though, I shiver knowing he's from my city
All my friends asked me to go and see him I just stood there in shock like "I'm almost 21, why would you want me to go through that?"
