X Factor finalists are unhappy with the way they are being treated by the show's bosses.
The singers, who are living together at a house in North London, have compared the strict regime introduced by producers to a World War II PoW camp.
Carl Pemberton of Journey South and favourite Shayne Ward are celebrating birthdays this weekend, but were warned not to throw parties after last night's live show.
"Carl and Shayne feel pretty let down because they can't get together with their mates for a big blow out," one source told The People.
"A lot of the hopefuls are starting to get twitchy with the way they are being locked in. They see it like a PoW camp. With no booze and this supposed sex ban they are all feeling this show is not the fun they hoped for.
"The showbiz lifestyle is much harder than they imagined. One said it was more like Guantanamo Bay's Camp X Ray than X Factor."
A spokeswoman for the show explained, "The contestants are fighting for a million pound record contract. They are not there to have a non-stop party
