X Factor Photos: Matt Cardle’s Marijuana Explanation

X FACTOR: Is Matt Cardle is smoking a joint (that’s a marijuana cigarette, readers and impressionable kids tuning in for news of the singing sensation)?

But it might be a rolled-up cigarette. Still, a show “insider” is here to tell the Sun:

“He had been to a festival and got carried away in the moment. But there will be no spliffs in the X Factor house.”

Bongs, then? Hot knives? Magic pin tricks? Or just Matt lulling the contestants into state of catatonia with his slowed-up, high-pitched versions of great pop songs..?
