ITV talent show The X Factor has caused an international row after the Chinese Embassy lodged an official complaint about noise at the contestants' home.
The Chinese Ambassador, who lives next door to the finalists, complained about the noise and disturbance caused by fans outside the house, reports The Sun.
A spokesperson for the embassy told the paper: "I can confirm there was a complaint.
"The reason is several times late at night and early in the mornings the teenage fans were noisy and disturbing."
Ambassador Madam Fu Ying was also said to be irritated by the litter and graffiti left by the teenagers who are hanging around in the upmarket area.
Fans are believed to be travelling from as far as Ireland in the hope of catching a glimpse of the show's contestants and earlier in the week, one neighbour complained to the police after a girl was seen flashing at John and Edward.
The complaints have put ITV under increasing pressure to move the finalists to a new home.

If these two win the x-factor I swear I will never watch this programme ever again and most of the nations viewers would'nt either. Its a shambles this year most of the singers that have already been sent home are loads better than these idiots and cheryl (cant sing) cole put together.

Posted by: indiadoyle on Thu Oct 29 01:21PM | Report abuseOh dear! Perhaps the ambas@#$%r can go on holiday for a few weeks? - It won't last forever and to complain in this case may well be seen to be unreasonable because of this! And China, you may well learn that your young people will be behaving in this manner in the not too distant future, that is if you continue to 'westernize' them in the universities etc. over here!!

Her parents are to blame there. If the area is as exclusive as they say, security should be available to prevent people from visiting there.

Posted by: tinarett on Thu Oct 29 01:23PM | Report abuseI think that ITV should have thought about this situation in advance after all the show has been long running. The contestants can't be blamed for the fans behaviour but what a joke that the embassy has become involved.May the best performer win and save the show from extinction. But do we really need anymore pop stars have we not got enough already.
