Of late the X Factor has come under a lot of criticism about how authentic their audition process actually is.

Since the latest series has begun to air, there have been plenty of accusations saying that the singing competition is fixed.

Shianne Phillips, whose audition appeared on the series last Saturday has now said that her audition was “staged” and extremely “edited”. She spoke to FLIC about what exactly happened behind the scenes of her performance.

She took to the stage to perform Whitney Houston’s I Have Nothing but did not make to the next round. She has now said:

"It's staged. They posted around 30% of my performance, and it was edited to look entirely different from how it really was.”

She continued that she actually received multiple standing ovations and it was actually the judges, Simon and Rita, who were being booed by the audience.

"I sang two songs and received four standing ovations. I was forced to sing the Whitney song and was told if I sang the song, I would get through. I had actually chosen four other songs instead."

The other song which she sang was Homeless, a Leona Lewis track: "Cheryl was going crazy, cheering and clapping over her head. She was saying, 'Yes, yes, this is it'.”

She added: "I received two standing ovations when I sangHomeless, and the audience was booing Simon and Rita.

"The entire arena of 5,000 people were chanting, 'Shianne, Shianne, Shianne' for ages, along with, 'Say yes, say yes'.”

Obviously Shianne is none too pleased with how her X Factor experience went, as she referred to the show as the Fix Factor.
