As X Factor contestants prepare for the rapidly approaching final, the show has been hit with accusations of favouritism.
According to the Daily Star, singing hopefuls Andrea Faustini, Lauren Platt and Ben Haenow have complained that they believe Fleur East is guaranteed to walk away this year's winner.
The newspaper reports that trio have grown tired of her mentor Simon Cowell and his fellow judges' unwavering support of the 26-year-old beauty, whose powerful vocals have won glowing critiques.
On Saturday night's show , the contestant performed Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, but the Sheezus singer has blasted the show for using a track which hasn't been fully released yet.
In a series of tweets, she said: "Is this even out yet? #XFactor ... Well done to @sony for managing to get a not yet released song of theirs sung on prime time weekend telly. #uptownfunk #shazam #airplay
"It is an amazing song and Fleur did it justice but it's still a great example of music industry corruption. #uptown funk"
