Ryan Ruckledge was that guy who went on The X Factor last year, had a bit of a strop, got thrown out, then rematerialized on Big Brother this year, kind of redeemed himself, fell in love with Hughie Maughan (who he's now engaged to), and got a terrible Big Brother tattoo.

It also emerged he'd previously dressed in black face and sent an awful transphobic tweet to previous Big Brother winner Luke A, so we're not mega fans.

He did apologise, so we'll give him that.

And now he's come out with some allegations that we're sure are going to give the 'THE X FACTOR IS A FIX' brigade an absolute field day.

Seriously – this is bigger than Honey G and that jukebox dramz PUT TOGETHER.

He said he was having an affair with a producer (when he was a contestant) who told him he could make sure he got through to the live shows.

Literally, WHAAAAAAAAAT?

He wrote on his Instagram: "I was dating one of the producers for the show which no-one knew and I was told that he would be able to get me far in the competition even though I couldn’t sing," he said.

"He begged me to be with him and told me he would get me to the lives because they have an input on what acts go through to what stage."

He also called the show "fixed".

WOOOOOWZERS.

But a spokesperson for the show denied his shocking claims, hitting back: "Acts are chosen on the merit of their audition in front of the judges and we don’t believe there is any substance to these claims."

Is it us, or is this year's series of The X Factor literally MENTAL?

Don't even get us started on all this ALLEGED porking that seems to be going on
