X Factor singer Danny Tetley has had his 17-year sentence for sexually exploiting seven teenagers cut.
The ITV talent show semi-finalist was jailed for nine years in January.
Tetley, 39, plead guilty to inducing boys between the ages of 14 and 16 to send him indecent images in exchange for money. Two further charges related to the distribution of indecent images.
His sentence was part of an extended 17-year term. And that meant he was due to be closely monitored on licence for eight years after his release from prison.

But following an appeal that sentence has been reduced.
Lady Justice Simler said at the High Court that it was ‘too lengthy’.
This kind of abuse can have a profound and long-lasting impact.
