The X Factor is once again at the centre of a controversial row over newspaper claims that Diana Vickers was well enough to appear on last Saturday night's show.
Viewers were told that Diana couldn't perform a song on 'Mariah week' because she was suffering from laryngitis, however, the Daily Mirror has a video of her sounding in good voice during Bonfire Night celebrations - just several days before the show.
This appears to contradict claims made during the programme that she first complained about her voice the pervious Sunday and missed rehearsals because she was confined to her bed all week.
Fans of the series are now speculating that the real reason she missed the show was because she would have struggled to perform a Mariah Carey song.
Diana automatically got through to this week's show while Laura White was voted off in one of the most controversial decisions in X Factor history.
More than 21,000 people have now signed a petition to bring back Laura to the contest. Laura was an early favourite to win the show and blamed her departure on newspaper stories about her lovelife along with tactical voting by the judges.
What do you think of the claims about Diana? Do you think Laura should get another chance? Let us know what you think...

Everyone is having a dig at Diana, why dont the producers make Diana sing a Mariah Carey Song and let the judges judge her and then people can stop accusing her of not being able to do a Mariah Cary. song. D.J Croydon.

Posted by: dickjenk on Mon Nov 17 02:44PM | Report abuseDiana Vickers cant sing. she is seen as cute and quirky and easy to find a market for. she should never have made the public vote stage of the contest. In her bootcamp audition she forgot the words,tune and never got close to a clean note. She has taken the place of someone more talented and deserving!

Posted by: gap_whitty on Mon Nov 17 02:45PM | Report abuseBring Laura back & let Rachel go..... she's a loose cannon!
Posted by: welshancestors on Mon Nov 17 02:49PM | Report abuseShe should have been out of the competition, if they bend the rules for one they have to do it for all of them..... Just think if they voted off some of the good ones early on in the competition and kept the rubbish like rachel and Daniel in then towards the end the one they want to win will only be up against crap!!! So they can choose the winner now!! This is turning into the FiX Factor!!!!
