Is there ever a week without an X Factor scandal? Still, we think this is the biggest one in recent history (well, since Gamu-gate)...
According to The Sun, Dermot O'Leary has let it slip that a plot was hatched to save singer Katie Waissel minutes before the four judges voted which replied on mentor Cheryl Cole being given first say on the panel...
As reported by the paper, the host claims he was told by a producer: "If Cheryl decides to opt out we go to majority vote." Dermot then added: "She did decide to opt out - and then she said, 'Come back to me and we'll do deadlock'." Of course, as we all know, she wasn't given that option as Treyc Cohen's fate was sealed as soon as the other three judges had spoken.
Dermot continued: "We talked about it in the break because you find out two or three minutes before what's going to happen. "It would have been a lot easier for me for Cheryl to be last."
Meanwhile, Nicole Scherzinger, a stand-in judge during this year's series, said Treyc would be justified in thinking she was "unfairly treated".
As reported yesterday, Treyc's dad is fuming about his daughter's treatment and thousands of viewers have flooded the internet with complaints.
