The X Factor has been accused of faking audition footage after eagle-eyed viewers noticed one of her unique reactions was used of different auditions.
On last night’s episode, it was noticed by some former Pussycat Doll Nicole reacted in exactly the same way to Jack Remington and Joel Fisher’s audition as she did to Alisah Bonaobra’s earlier in the series.
The US star attempted to show her delight by leaning back in her chair and touching her chest as she wore a red dress last night as she had done weeks ago, in exactly the same outfit, meaning viewers may not be seeing the genuine reaction of the judges to the performances.
An insider told The Sun: “It looks like this was an error in the editing of the show.
“It doesn’t change the context at all but they’ll be looking into ways to make sure this doesn’t happen again.”
Viewers also cried foul play this weekend when hopeful Alisah Bonaobra failed to impress the judges during a group performance of Mariah Carey song We Belong Together during the bootcamp stage but was still put through to the Six Chair Challenge.
The ITV talent show has been embroiled in a number of fix scandals over the years, including last year when host Demot O’Leary appeared to give away the results of the public vote a massive 60 minutes before phone lines were scheduled to close.
