X Factor’s Katie Waissel lashes out at former mentor Cheryl

“I think he is going to be better than you think on the live shows, that is my gut feeling”.

So where did it all go wrong?

Essentially, that is all I’m ever looking for in X Factor auditions these days.

“I’m absolutely in love with them (Rita and Nick), so I don’t know how Louis could comment on acts he doesn’t know”. Someone to wake me up and stir me out of a James Bay-induced semi TV coma, which is why Fourth Power and their lovely bounciness were also a highlight of Sunday’s show.

“The first audition I watched on Saturday, people had 10 minute slots, and I went to 47 seconds”, the singer replied.

“The music mogul told Mason that he was” five seconds away from getting thrown off the stage” but this didn’t have any impact.

Erm, so is Louis Walsh heading to the jungle or the X Factor?

Nick Grimshaw quipped: ‘Yeah but he’s not Kanye West yet. “And I mean it”, said Cowell.

Mason defends his position, adding: ‘I’m bringing entertainment back, ‘, but it fell on deaf ears – with even the crowd turning against him.

Mason refused to apologise, though, and dropped the mic before storming off the stage.

“I thought it was just a rumour, then someone told me he was on TV talking about it as a possibility. He was simply standing up for his show and for the production team”.

“Well then, go”, the head judge said.

In this controversial stage of boot camp, each judge cuts their category down to six finalists for Judges’ Houses by granting one a seat on stage if they’re considered good enough.

Rita Ora found herself dancing along as he serenaded her with his soulful voice.

Now it’s the turn of 31-year-old Grimshaw and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, who is in charge of the Groups.

Viewers should also look out for flamboyant 24-year-old Australian Seann Miley Moore, who sings a Shirley Bassey song in a gold dress and high heels. Two gospel groups are competing against each other.

Cowell couldn’t believe a contestant was telling him how much air time he deserves.

The X Factor continues tonight at 7pm on ITV1.
