It’s no secret that those pesky X Factor bosses bloody love a massive twist, and each week is plagued with more dramz that your average episode of Hollyoaks.
There was the contestant who claimed the show treated him ‘like an animal’, Anthony Russell getting kicked out for an alleged drug offence, Talia Deane releasing a video last week containing spoilers about Saturday night’s show…
Then everyone kicked off about Mika being in it for some reason.
AND THEN they introduced the most brutal twist EVER.
And now they’ve made a HUGE change to the live shows, and we’re not sure we can deal with it.
They’re cancelling the sing-off!
Fans of the show will be aware of the super-dramatic Sunday show, in which the two acts with the lowest votes have to sing before the judges, before they decide who’s booted off the show.
But now their fate will lie solely in the public’s hands.
A source said: “The sing-off had been popular but Simon believed that it had become sour and focused too much on who was leaving rather than championing the talent who was in the lead."
“He wants to celebrate the best acts on the show rather than give screen time to the less popular performers who haven’t struck a chord with the public.” They continued to The Sun.
“It does mean though that there is little point in the judges being there, apart from offering their opinion. They will have no direct impact on who goes or who stays.
BRING ON THIS WEEKEND.
The X Factor continues on Saturday at 8PM on ITV.
