After watching the X-Factor I wondered the same thing myself. The only thing I've found is about the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act and spent convictions: ... a criminal conviction which is regarded as ‘spent’ under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 it will be ignored, unless you are applying for employment which is not protected by that Act. A conviction involving a sentence of less than 2 ½ years imprisonment is regarded as ‘spent’ if the rehabilitation period set out in the table overleaf has been completed. A sentence of more than 2 ½ years imprisonment can never become ‘spent’ and should be disclosed.

1) "As we have explained, those concerns dictate that a district court decline to entertain a civil rights claim asking monetary compensation for an allegedly unlawful conviction or imprisonment where success on that claim would necessarily imply the invalidity of an outstanding conviction or a potential conviction in a pending criminal proceeding. When that outstanding conviction or that pending criminal proceeding ceases to exist, however, the justification for barring access to the federal courts likewise ceases." Source: http://vls.law.vill.edu/locator/3d/Jun1996/96a1338p.txt 2) "outstanding 1. prominent or noticeable; standing out from others 2. distinguished from others by its superiority 3. projecting outwards 4. unresolved; not settled or finished 5. owed as a debt" Source: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/outstanding The meaning of outstanding in this expression is not the usual meaning 1, but the rather unusual meaning 4.
