In what has become an on-going pattern with the X Factor this year, the series has once again hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons.

As many of our UK readers will know, controversy struck the competition over the weekend when contestant Katie Waissel was saved over TreyC Cohen. This, despite forgetting her words in the final sing-off (again) and  being labelled the inferior singer of the two by Simon Cowell – who still went on to vote for her to stay.

It is the pair’s mentor Cheryl Cole, however, who is the subject of the most intense critique, after out-rightly refusing to cast her vote; a vote which very well could have been instrumental in bringing about a different outcome.

Now, new reports detail how viewers have made hundreds of official complaints about the occurrences, with many calling for Cheryl Cole to be axed from the judging panel.
