It might have been Simon's idea
From those 'man' bands Westlife are the best anyway, so I am not bothered whether TT turn up or not.
Take That have denied pulling out of an appearance on this Saturday's X Factor final, insisting that they were never scheduled to perform.
Earlier reports suggested that the group had refused to appear after discovering that recently reformed boyband Boyzone would also be present.
However, a spokesperson for Take That said that the band was "never confirmed" and "never scheduled" to appear.
The representative told Gigwise that the group will be in Europe this weekend as part of a pre-arranged promotional tour.
An X Factor spokesperson commented: "There is no truth to the reports today, we would absolutely love to have Take That back on the show, but we have always been aware that the band have other commitments in Italy that night so have never been available to perform in the final."
Just shows you that people should wait for the truth to come out and not jump to conclusions.....
i did think there was probably more to this, we are too quick to believe the reports that come out!
POOKIE
Thanking the fabulous TAbbie, for the banner!
And who knows for sure what the truth is?
X Factor chiefs are convinced Britain’s top reality TV show is the victim of a spiralling dirty tricks campaign.
They believe there is a vendetta aimed at nobbling the ITV1 talent show and spoiling Saturday’s big final for 13m fans.
Show bosses fear the concerted campaign is being masterminded by a jealous former contestant or their family in league with a disgruntled show insider.
Producers have been horrified by a steady stream of damaging leaks and false stories about the judges and contestants.
Now they have launched a huge security investigation to discover the person responsible.
The smear tactics include:
Leaking of confidential contracts signed by all the finalists.
Highly-sensitive voting patterns being leaked onto the internet.
False reports of bust-ups between the judges and contestants.
Simon Cowell’s car being bugged.
Untrue reports that Take That had snubbed the final because Boyzone were also scheduled to appear.
Britney Spears facing a barrage of criticism over her so-called backstage demands.
A steady drip of untrue stories about hopefuls including Diana Vickers, Alexandra Burke, Rachel Hylton and Daniel Evans.
Unfounded accusations that the show was “rigged” to save Diana Vickers at the expense of Laura White.
An internet campaign which saw 50,000 “fans” criticise the show and demand Laura be reinstated.
And previous winner Leon Jackson has joined in the criticism, blasting the judges for creating more stories about themselves and stealing the limelight from the acts.
The 19-year-old Scottish singer, who won the fourth season of the hit TV talent show, said: “I think it gets clouded a bit these days when the judges are having their confrontations.
“It should be more about the acts, in my opinion.”
All the negative stories and leaks threaten to overshadow the most keenly-contested final ever between Eoghan Quigg, 16, Alexandra Burke, 20, and boy band JLS.
A highly-placed X Factor source said last night: “Frankly, we’ve been horrified at the vicious nature of these leaks and false stories.
“Some of these go way beyond the normal sort of stuff which comes out about the show. These have been highly vindictive and very damaging.
“We believe there is a concerted bid to nobble the show and try to tarnish it.
“There’s also been leaks about voting patterns and contracts – obviously some of this information is so sensitive it can only have come from someone with an intimate knowledge of the show.
“We believe it could be an employee with a grudge who is feeding this stuff to the people behind the campaign.
“It could be a contestant who didn’t go as far as they thought they should – or their relations – might have an axe to grind We believe we know who it is – we’re gathering the proof before exposing them.
“Much of the claims about the bust-ups between the judges are not based on any truth at all.”
Take That were last night “fuming” at the false reports they had pulled out of Saturday’s final.
A spokesman said: “We’ve no idea where this report came from. Take That were never asked to appear.”
A show spokeswoman said: “X Factor is the biggest show on TV – it’s inevitable that some people will hate us.
I do get but your saying but if you really think about it would they be as petty as that???? Id be saying the exact same thing if it was the other way about boyzone refusung to go on because take that were playing, this is their careers they cant just pick and choose no matter how big they are
