Olly Murs Makes Biggest X Factor Blunder Yet

Olly Murs made an unfortunate blunder during Sunday night’s ‘X Factor’, appearing to prematurely reveal which act would be leaving the competition.

Following Max Stone’s elimination, due to receiving the lowest number of votes from the public. Monica Michael and Anton Stephans landed themselves in this weekend’s sing-off.

However, the judges were ultimately undecided about which of them to send home, with two votes for each of the competing act being cast by the panel.

Olly then raised eyebrows when he said: “Just to clarify, I know said we were going to go to deadlock, but unfortunately, Monica, you are going home, I’m afraid…”

Where is @radioleary when you need him??? @ollyofficial is quite dreadful. The only 5 mins of #XFactor I've watched! pic.twitter.com/jW8nGHp3dc

His co-host, Caroline Flack quickly interjected, revealing that they would in fact be going to deadlock after all, leaving it to the public vote to decide which of them would be sent packing.

Cue lots of frantic apologising from the ‘Dance With Me Tonight’ singer, who explained that he’d “made a mistake”.

I apologise to everyone tonight I made a massive f%#k up at the end. It was so tense!! I'm still learning & hope that never happens again!
