EVERYONE seems to be talking about one TV programme at the moment and that's X Factor... but is it for the right reasons?
As we all know there are two local stars in the ITV talent competition – Tetney star Ella Henderson and Cleethorpes-born Michael Parsons, part of District3 (formerly GMD3) – and they are both through to the second round of live shows this weekend.
But was it fair this week on contestant Carolynne Poole who was eliminated?
Louis Walsh caused outrage on Sunday night's show as he changed his mind after initially choosing to save Carolynne from elimination.
After Louis initially told host Dermot O'Leary he wanted Carolynne to go through to next week's show over controversial Essex contestant Rylan Clark, he backtracked and wanted to take the vote to deadlock.
Louis' last-minute change of heart made me wonder how real the show actually is, as he was seen chatting to the show's executive producer Richard Holloway during Carolynne's sing-off.
When it was taken to deadlock Rylan got through... did I watch the same show as the viewers?
Rylan didn't give the best performance, let's just say, and he moved the microphone away so you couldn't hear his voice – even judge Gary Barlow pointed this out.
This kind of controversy on the show doesn't give our contestants much hope, or confidence from the judges and producers.
The contestants and viewers like myself rely on the show being true to its word, but I think all this won't put Ella off and she has a good chance of getting to the finals of the show.
She gave a stand-out performance wowing the audience and the judges with her rendition of Take That's Rule The World. A very brave song choice for Ella, with judge Gary looking on... but she definitely nailed it.
