She may just be the most controversial contestant ever to compete on the X Factor.

But Honey G once again managed to sail through the competition to week six on Sunday night's results show, much to the horror of many fans.

As the rapper, 35, sailed through in the top five to Disco Week, many viewers were horrified that she'd evaded the bottom three - with some imploring bosses to end the 'madness'.

'Less rapper more Quality Street wrapper!': Honey G once again managed to sail through the competition to week six on Sunday night's results show, much to the horror of many fans

Having wowed Simon Cowell the night before with her rendition of Kris Kross' Jump, Honey took to the stage in a spangly gold jacket to rap in the group song, Keep On Movin'.

But when the wannabe hip hop star managed to sail through in the top five, fans lashed out - with some claiming other acts were more deserving of the opportunity.

Taking to Twitter in their droves, fans voiced their anger at the Londoner's continued success in the show.

'Less "rapper" more Quality Street "wrapper",' wrote @FiLapham88 in response to Dermot O'Leary's announcement that she was safe for another week.

Madness? As the rapper, 35, sailed through in the top five, many viewers were horrified that she'd evaded the bottom three - with some imploring bosses to end the 'madness'

More like a wrapper: Taking to Twitter in their droves, fans voiced their anger at the Londoner's continued success in the show

And it only got worse for Honey - real-name Anna Georgette Gilford - as other fans shared the sentiment.

Taking a swipe at her appeal to the rap and hip hop world, @OlgaKorts wrote: '@SimonCowell, will you offer honeyg a contract? Probably not because nobody will buy her album.. end the madness #XFactor [sic].'

'@The_Honey_G should be ashamed, allowing good singer to be sent home when she is clearly only in for the gimmick cause she can't rap #c***,' wrote @stuartbain11.

The critics have spoken: Presenter Tony Shepherd likened it to a national farce, while Brian McFadden went for the jugular

Presenter Tony Shepherd likened it to a national farce, writing: 'Brexit, Ed Balls, Boaty McBoatFace, Honey G. All proof that we can't be trusted to vote for anything #XFactor #XFactorResults.'

Former Westlife star Brian McFadden made his feelings clear, writing: 'When I Say honey you say... G...sus Christ!!!! what the f*** is that!!!!! [sic].'

Honey ended up in the top five acts, whilst Samantha Lavery found herself saved by the public lifeline.

But ultimately it was girl group Four of Diamonds who were the unlucky ones on the night, as Saara Aalto blew them away in the sing off.
