Nick had been far from complimentary about Anton on Saturday night, as the programme launched into love and heartbreak week.
“Radio One are begging to play my CD so I’m sure they’ll play it all day long!” “I have fallen in love with both acts over the past weeks but if I’m basing this on the fact Anton is going on tour and he will do his thing, I think for the rest of the competition my heart is with Che, sorry Anton”. You don’t enter a competition to lose.
There were boos from the crowd as Grimshaw said: “It still feels like an act to me, it doesn’t feel real or raw”.
Matt Cardle might not seem like a controversy magnet, but this steamy performance with Rihanna managed to spark nearly 3000 complaints to Ofcom, thanks to their on-stage tension and her provocative outfit.
“He’s been in touch this morning just wishing me luck and saying he’s there for me and I appreciate that a great deal”.
“This is real, there’s nothing fake about me”, Stephans insisted.
“You set the bar tonight”, said Rita. But thank God I’m not disgusting.
Referring to this exchange, Anton said: “Living in this wonderful country where you’re allowed to have different opinions and that’s wonderful – people have fought and died for it”.
“Alight, don’t get aggressive”, as Anton replied: “I’m not getting aggressive, just putting you straight”. Of course, I wanted to win!
However, Simon disagreed. “For the first time, I felt your nerves”.

Another week, another X Factor drama, though after last night’s furore over Lauren Murray’s pushing of the 4th Impact girls we’re kind of over all the fuss. “But he’s a gentleman and we’re very good friends now, of course, and we laugh about it. I got a message from him saying ‘at least no one’s going to head-butt me this week!'”.
