Controversies

Allegation of bullying Misha B was involved in a controversy during the third base live show when Tulisa accused her of making “ mean comments ” and Walsh accused her of being a “ bang-up ” backstage. Both by and by apologised. The early two judges, Barlow and Rowland, and respective contestants defended Misha B during and after the show. Barlow later said he believed the wrongful allegations had ended her chances of winning the rival. ” Frankie Cocozza’s ejection On 8 November, Frankie Cocozza was ejected from the competition. He released a statement saying “ I ‘d like to apologise to Gary, my chap contestants and everyone who has voted for me, but, as of today, I will no longer be in The X Factor. My liveliness during the show has gone out of command and my behavior off stage has overstepped the rules of the competition. ” The Sun newspaper claimed Cocozza had been catch boasting about using cocaine. The rules of the series rigorously forbid drug use during the testify. Cocozza ‘s mentor, Barlow, said that he was “ enormously disappoint ” by Cocozza ‘s behavior, but wished him luck with his future. Cocozza ‘s behavior earlier in the serial has led to two Ofcom investigations – he affirm during a know show and was besides shown drinking heavily with some friends .

• This is the only series to feature an act who was permanently ejected from the show and banned from performing in The X Factor Live Tour.
• Unlike the previous series, the category age limit was lowered from 28 to 25, therefore any solo contestant older than the age of or aged 25 was placed in the Over 25s category.
• Most of the judges decisions during the majority of the final showdowns this year were unamious e.g. Sophie’s, Johnny’s and Janet’s departure. During these three occasions Barlow didn’t need to vote.
