The X Factor 2010

LOUIS Walsh has had a dig at Cheryl Cole by saying fellow X Factor judge Dannii Minogue is dressing more stylishly on the ITV1 show each week.

Speaking to heat magazine, the Irish music mogul said: "Dannii is looking incredible. She's winning in the style stakes, definitely."

Cheryl and Dannii have reportedly had a frosty relationship behind the scenes and Louis didn't do much to quash the rumours.

He said: "It's not a love-fest, but they get on as well as any two women who are on the same show would.

"When people play them off against each other, there's bound to be competitiveness."

The 58-year-old judge also laid into Cheryl's act Cher Lloyd, saying: "Cher has all those stage distractions because she couldn't just walk out and sing.

"She raps too much. It's the same thing every week. But Cheryl sees a lot of herself in Cher."

He added: "Why doesn't Cheryl take her aside and say, 'Stop making those angry faces?'"

However, Cher Lloyd wowed audiences on Saturday with a stripped back performance of Shakespeare's Sister's Stay.

Dannii = Class

Cheryl Cole has reportedly banned Cher Lloyd from changing her stage name to Cher-L because it is too similar to her own.

Programme bosses apparently want Lloyd to adopt an "edgier" one-word moniker but cannot use Lloyd's first name because it is already taken by the famous 'Shoop Shoop Song' singer.

However, Cole had to step in when it was suggested that Lloyd attach the first letter of her surname to make 'Cher-L', according to The Sun.

A source said: "Cher has already been called a mini-Cheryl and now she could end up with almost the same name.

"X Factor chiefs want Cher to change her name after the show to give her something a bit edgier and more fitting to her image. They don't like her having two names and think she should have something a bit different.

"She can't be known as Cher so the idea of Cher-L came up - but her mentor didn't like it as it was so similar to her own name. Cher loves Cheryl and values her input and ideas but it doesn't look like she'll get her way on this one."

Bookmakers recently slashed the odds of Lloyd winning this series of the ITV singing competition after her celebrated performance of Shakespeare's Sister's 'Stay' on Saturday's live show.

Former X Factor hopeful Gamu Nhengu and her family have been given the right to appeal against a decision to force them to leave the UK.

The 18-year-old, who reached the Judges' Houses stage of this year's competition, had been facing deportation alongside her mother Nokuthula Ngazana and two brothers, following the UK Border Agency's rejection of their application to renew their visas.

Solicitor Peter Farrell said today that the appeal would be heard at the Immigration Court in Glasgow on November 26, BBC News reports.

The family came to the country from Zimbabwe as Ngazana was studying at university. Nhengu and her siblings were given leave to remain as her dependants.

Last month, the UK Border Agency ruled that Ngazana's application to extend her visa did not "meet all of the conditions for approval", but a lawyer representing Nhengu's family said that it was as a result of an administrative error.

Nhengu was not selected by judge Cheryl Cole to progress to the live rounds of this year's X Factor, prompting anger from fans of the show.

WENNKatie Waissel could be asked to leave The X Factor, it has been claimed.

According to the Daily Record, the singer delayed the video shoot for the show's charity single by six hours yesterday after suffering a panic attack.

A source told the newspaper: "Katie is very fragile and we are very concerned for her.

"We are considering asking her to step aside because it is now really affecting the show. Her well-being is our number one priority."

The alleged insider continued: "Everyone is fed-up with her diva-like antics. They feel as though she thinks the whole show revolves around her... She's hugely stressed."

Waissel reportedly spent the night 'crying hysterically' and having further panic attacks.

'X Factor' Katie 'refuses to rehearse'

Katie Waissel has refused to rehearse ahead of this weekend's X Factor live show, it has been claimed.

According to Metro, the contestant is also upset at the song chosen for her to perform on American Anthems week.

A source told the newspaper: "She doesn't like to rehearse. She won't sing the song they give her, either.

"Right now, Katie is refusing to practise at all and says she would just prefer to go on stage and sing a song first pop."

They added: "It's not ideal after she publicly broke down after escaping the bottom two again last week. She's been told she needs to do a lot of work.

"After she was turned into the show clown last week, she is not having fun behind the make-up and insists her raw voice on the night is all she needs."

Yesterday, it was claimed that Waissel could be asked to leave The X Factor after allegedly delaying the video shoot for the show's charity single.
