X Factor fans 'brand show a fix and walk out of Wembley Arena after producers discuss
which acts to keep with Cheryl and Louis'
The X Factor has come under fire from viewers who have claimed the acts are part-decided by the producers.
The row erupted as hopefuls in the ITV talent series compete for the final places in The Six Seat Challenge, which determines who goes through to the judges' houses.
According to The Sun, X Factor fans 'branded the show “a total fix” after judges appeared to chat with producers about who to kick out.'

They add that 'Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Louis Walsh were widely booed during the filming of Boot Camp last weekend when they ditched serious singers for novelty acts after chatting with TV bosses.'
Show compere and warm-up man Ian Royce was forced to intervene and warn the crowd about their 'vile' behaviour, telling them to 'give a chance' to hopefuls after one girl was booed before she even finished performing.
And when Louis gave comedy duo Blonde Electric a place on his Groups shortlist, he was forced to intervene again.

He said: 'This act don't deserve that booing, this is there opportunity so you give them the same respect you've given every other act tonight. This is their big moment make sure you give it to them!'
Some audience members speculated the inclusion of the novelty acts were a fix after Louis swapped Blonde Electric back in after speaking to producers, and Cheryl did the same with one of her contestants in the Girls category.

A crowd member said: 'When Cheryl got rid of the girl, producers could be seen shaking their heads at the decision and ran up to her. Later she was brought back. As soon as Cheryl announced the girl was out, the booing started.'
However, a show source insisted the two judges were discussing their desire to swap acts.
An X Factor spokesman defended the show's credibility, telling MailOnline: 'As part of the Six Chair Challenge the judges have to decide who they take through to Judges Houses.
'Until all acts in their category have sung and the judge has declared that they have chosen their final 6, each judge is able to change their minds and bring back anyone they have removed from a seat at any stage.'
Intervention: Simon Cowell jumped in to defend Cheryl when the crowd booed her
They added: 'The
judges make the final decision on who they take through to their judges
houses. With such strong talent across the categories and with
decisions having to be made on the spot after acts have performed it’s
not unexpected that the judges on occasion changed their minds.
'The judges don't wear earpieces so producers do talk to the judges at the desk throughout filming and in these instances the judges spoke to production about the fact they wanted to change their minds.'
