X Factor bosses have reportedly held crisis talks after the shock outcome of last night's public vote.

The meeting came after bookies' favourite Danyl Johnson found himself in the bottom two along with girl band Miss Frank.

Both acts had received praise from the judges following their performances on Saturday night's big band show and Simon Cowell branded Danyl's presence in the bottom two as "a joke".

A source at the programme told The Sun: "They need to work out whether they've given the acts the best songs."

The insider added that the producers want to ensure that "the best acts" do not end up in a similar position over the coming weeks.

News of the meeting came after controversial act John and Edward once again found themselves voted through to the next round by the public.

The duo were booed by the studio audience and faced criticism by the judges for their singing.

Danyl Johnson was said to be 'destroyed' at having to take part in the sing-off, however, he was spared when the judges' vote resulted in deadlock and Miss Frank were sent home.

Were you shocked by last night's result? Did Miss Frank deserve to go? Why is Danyl not proving a hit with viewers? Let us know what you think...

    This programme has come to the end of it's 'sell by date' and should stop after this series.

    Maybe Danyl will start believing he is as expendible as the others.

    Again with the whole John & Edward thing.....People like them, it's as clear as that. They deserve to be there just as much as the others do. It was a huge shock that Danyl was in the bottom two but lets not blame John & Edward. Lloyd had a bad night and with Rachel being in the bottom two the previous weeks meant that Danyl fans were instead voting for their other favourites that needed the vote more.

    I would sespect John & Edward may have a group of people mass voting for them. Does the show actually check whether any one person voted more than once?? Miss Frank were on top form on Saturday. Danyl & the twins are in a different league

    The show is a fix or there is a lot of deluded people voting a joke of an act called John and Edward.

    I think that everyone assumes he is safe and is therefore voting for other acts....
