Does anyone know if Katie will be sent home from the competition this week? She's been having bad panic attacks and it's been affecting the show.

Does not look like it from this:


Members of Katie Waissel's family have reportedly asked the singer to quit The X Factor.

According to The Mirror, Waissel has brushed off the requests, despite allegedly suffering panic attacks in recent days.

A source told the newspaper that Waissel had been for a medical checkup, adding: "She woke up shaking and coughing in the night and Rebecca Ferguson was yelling for someone to call 999.

"She was rushed to doctors and they spent a lot of time doing checkups, with her parents looking after her. She's been a mess since Sunday.

"Katie was traumatised by being in the bottom two and isn't her usual self. Some of her family think it would be better if she left the competition now. But Katie isn't having any of it.

"Even though it is affecting her health she wants to try to turn things round. She knows despite all the problems the show is her best chance of success in the music business.

Cher Lloyd has suggested that she will rap again on this weekend's X Factor.

The contestant's first audition and many subsequent performances have been hip hop tracks or have featured a rap segment.

However, Lloyd last week sung Shakespears Sister's 'Stay', which she described as "payback to people who have been nasty to me, and also to show people I can sing".

Of her song for this Saturday's American Anthems-themed show, Lloyd told The Mirror: "I love my hip hop and I think people will enjoy what I'm going to sing this weekend... I hope so anyway."

Regarding the attention that she has received from celebrity fans of her performances, she added: "It's great, but I'm still getting used to all this crazy showbiz stuff."

Little Miss Mini Me Cher-L should remember how she is still in the competition, it's because the public have been voting for her but that can change in a flutter of her fake eyelashes. She'd better enjoy her time in the limelight because in two months time no-one is going to remember or care that she was on the xfactor. She'll be joing Same Difference at a holiday camp near you as a Ms Cole tribute act.

RADIO 1 star Chris Moyles is trying to fix The X Factor so wacky Wagner Carrilho wins.

The tubby DJ, 36, revealed yesterday he is throwing his weight behind the Brazilian wannabe because he wants him to take the crown.

And he is urging his seven million listeners to follow his lead and vote to save the 54-year-old singer from the axe.

When former X Factor star Olly Murs, 26, said he believed Essex boy Matt Cardle, 24, was going to win, gobby Chris hit back: “No he’s not.

“It’s Wagner. I’m starting a massive campaign to get everyone to vote for him. When we put our weight behind him, no joke, it’ll be huge. It’ll take off.”

Despite his tuneless performances, the weird singer has managed to escape the sing-offs and stay in the show.

A show insider said: “If just half of the people who listen to Chris in the morning actually pick up the phone and vote for Wagner then he’s going to sail through to the final.”

Chris’s plot is reminiscent of last year’s campaign that kept show winner Joe McElderry, 19, off the Christmas No1 spot as Rage Against The Machine’s Killing In The Name Of reached the top of the festive charts.

Wagner os good for another couple of weeks. Mini Me and Madonna wannabe need to go first and maybe get rid of One Direction before Wagner.

'X Factor' Big Band Week axed?

X Factor bosses have axed Big Band Week, according to a report.

It will be the first time since 2006 that the theme - which sees the hopefuls perform with a full orchestra - has not been included.

The Sun claims that the move favours finalists including Cher Lloyd and One Direction.

"While Big Band would suit Rebecca Ferguson or Wagner Carrilho, it could be a death knell to One Direction or Cher, whose main talent is rapping," a source told the paper.

The X Factor continues with an American Anthems theme on Saturday at 7.45pm on ITV1.

Heaven forbid if Mini Me and One direction are upset we can't have the kiddies having tantrums now.

Twilight star Robert Pattinson has revealed that he is backing Wagner Carrilho to win The X Factor.

The actor admitted that he enjoys watching the 54-year-old wind up judge Simon Cowell.

“I love this guy," he told The Mirror. "He doesn't have the best voice, but he enjoys what he does and I respect him for that.

"It’s great just to see him wind Simon Cowell up."

Pattinson claimed that Wagner is "the sort of guy you'd do a drunken duet with at a family wedding". He also told the paper that Dannii Minogue had invited him to the studio to watch the show live.

"I really hope Wagner is still in by the final," he said. "If filming allows I'll be there, and I guarantee I'll be wearing a 'Vote Wagner’ T-shirt'."

Cher Lloyd will perform the Jay-Z and Alicia Keys hit 'Empire State of Mind' and return to her hip hop style, while Mary Byrne is lined up to perform Faith Hill's 'There You'll Be'.

Meanwhile, Treyc Cohen is expect to sing 'I Don't Want to Miss a Thing' and Wagner is rumoured to be performing the Elvis Presley classic 'Viva Las Vegas'.

On the DS forums there are also reports that One Direction will be performing American Idol winner Kris Allen's 'No Boundaries'.
