Following Anton’s performance of Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men’s One Sweet Day, Nick suggested there was something “not real” about him.
Anton’s online outburst follows an on air row with Nick Grimshaw during Saturday’s live show.
The rock group pipped Joe McElderry to the coveted Christmas number-pone spot, thanks to a Facebook campaign from one anti-‘X Factor’ music fan, who wanted real music back on the Christmas number one spot. This is not an act. “There’s nothing fake about me”.
Anton’s mentor Simon Cowell also got involved, telling Nick angrily: “Not everyone here is a Radio 1 artist, Nick”.
The X Factor is next broadcast on Sunday at 8pm on ITV.
“I love you, but I hate you because I think you are competition”, stated Nick. We thought his performance was emotional but lacked in parts.
‘It’s one thing, if you play records and you present records and you have pop star friends and you live in that world, that’s one thing, ‘ he said in an interview with Yahoo!
Anton was sent home from The X Factor, after facing Che Chesterman in the sing off.
Since Saturday’s night show, Anton has continued to show his upset towards Nick.
But Anton seemed to be in good spirits.
The pair haven’t spoken since the on-stage altercation, and Nick even appeared to make a dig at the singer on his Breakfast Show today.
“Living in this wonderful country where you’re allowed to have opinions, and have different opinions, and that’s what wonderful – people have fought and died for it”. “It doesn’t mean that you have to assassinate people’s characters. You don’t have to be ugly”.
