The X Factor band 5 After Midnight have sparked concern they’re ALREADY set for meltdown despite only being a few weeks into the live shows of the competition.

The band - Jordan Lee, Nathan Lewis and Kieran Alleyne - admitted they had been bickering in scenes which aired on Saturday night’s show.

In the clip, which was pre-recorded last week, choreographer Brian Friedman said: "They are not agreeing, they’re standing around and I don’t know how you would come together for something when you aren’t even talking.

"They’re eating up my time."

Their mentor Louis Walsh also admitted many of the bands he’s worked with over the years have struggled to get along but insists he’s the right person do deal with any fall-outs due to his experience.

When asked by Louis how they’d been getting along in rehearsals, Kieran replied: "It’s just like real brothers, sometimes you all hate each other and sometimes you love each other.

"You’re literally like 'give me space, please people.'"

Nathan added: "Having to work with each other, be at home with each other as well, there’s a lot of pressure."

But show boss Simon Cowell was less than impressed with the group’s performance last night after praising them in recent weeks.

He said: "I’m a fan, you know that. I think your first two weeks have been incredible, I’m going to be honest with you guys. This was terrible. It was absolutely terrible.

"It was like a rehearsal."

The X Factor continues tonight on ITV1 at 8pm.
