Monica admitted she was keen to show the “real Monica“, including a live rap, after not feeling like herself last Saturday night. I apologise for that.
“Sorry I do apologise, sorry Monica, that’s my fault”, he told the audience and contestants during Sunday’s show.

Judges Nick Grimshaw and Simon Cowell chose to save Anton and Rita Ora and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini voted to keep Monica.
Former X Factor champion Steve Brookstein caused controversy on Twitter last night when he poked fun at Olly Murs’ presenting error with a joke referencing HIV.
