I was sorta not surprised to see Rachel there cos she was good but not that amazing considering she went first so needed to be remembered more. I do like her I dont see the greatness about her

X Factor hosts Dermot O'Leary and Holly Willoughby have been ordered to support controversial contestants John and Edward, a report claims.

According to The Sun, a memo sent by show producers to O'Leary and Willoughby urges them to praise the twins in interviews.

It is thought that the leaked document states that it would "be great to defend John and Edward" against the backlash they have received from viewers in recent weeks.

A source said: "Bosses didn't expect the twins to get such a bad reaction from the public. They want people on their side."

The newspaper also reports that the show's presenters must dismiss rumours of rivalry between Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole by claiming that the female judges "get on and always have".

O'Leary and Willoughby are also said to be under strict instruction to insist that Louis Walsh was only joking when he ruled out his chances of winning this year.

The insider commented: "Even Simon Cowell was annoyed with what Louis said. He made it sound as if he didn't care about his acts. Producers don't want viewers to think that."

The X Factor continues on Saturday at 8pm on ITV1.

I wasn't surprised to see Kandy Rain go... their image was their downfall and their performance wasn't that great (though it wasn't the worst of the night).

I like a lot of the acts this year - Stacey, Lucie, Rachel, Miss Frank, Jamie and Joe are all getting my support at the moment. Miss Frank are probably my favourite though! They are awesome!

i still want jamie afro to win....he doesnt need to sing, he can just stand there and i would vote for him.

stacey was excellent but i think she needs to be styled better.

Werent Same Difference mentored by Simon?

so he was.. but he said this about them: "potentially two of the most annoying people I've ever met". However, Cowell was chosen to represent groups in that year and became Same Difference's mentor,

[SarahWakefield]

I don't think they were as annoying as these two this year though. I can't bear them. I didn't dislike Same Difference as much as I dislike John & Edward. They were still very annoying though.

Robbie Williams was reportedly left shaken after a fan became crushed under his car in a freak accident on Sunday night.

The 'Bodies' singer was leaving the North London set of The X Factor when several fans clustered outside the studio in order to catch a glimpse of the star, The Mirror reports.

However, as Williams's driver attempted to navigate his way out of the car park, one teenage boy was allegedly clipped by the vehicle and dragged under its wheels.

The 34-year-old is believed to have sprang out of the car in tears following the incident. A source said: "Everyone was screaming. It looked really serious."

Police at the scene later revealed that the unnamed boy escaped with minor injuries.

Why is the headline implying that Robbie Williams struck the boy rather than his driver, all rather misleading Glad that the kid is ok

Robbie looked so strung out when he performed on the results show i thought he was on drugs
