Former X Factor contestant Katie Waissel has been talking about Cheryl Fernandez-Versini again, and she still has nothing nice to say!

Katie hit headlines when she took to the stage at Sunday’s X Factor final – only weeks after calling Cheryl “disgusting”. She was see mouthing the words ‘you owe me’ to Simon and later hinted on Twitter that she may be taking a judges’ seat next year

Now, Katie has slammed Cheryl again in her new! column, saying she wasn’t all there on Sunday, writing: “Cheryl was absolutely NOWHERE to be seen! I’m surprised she even made it out to the chairs … She needs to lighten up, for her sake! If she doesn’t want to be there and take part, then I suggest she slowly slip away. People see thorough bullsh**.”

Hmm, we think if there is a chance of Katie taking a seat on next year’s panel, she may want to lay off giving out about Simon’s muse for a while! It certainly won’t do her any favours.

Stevi Ritchie and Chloe Jasmine's rumoured relationship was one of the biggest dramas of this year's X Factor, and now the speculation has been dealt with once and for all.

Although an official romance was never confirmed, the pair did hook up during the series, which eventually led to the breakdown of Chloe's relationship with Craig Wiffen.

Now though, Stevi insists he and Chloe are "just good friends," adding that he is "single and ready to mingle." Shudder.

While Stevi doesn't deny the possibility of something happening with Chloe down the line, he says the two are taking things easy for now.

"We've been texting and seeing each other, but it's not like…I don't know. She's a great girl, very lovely and I have a lot of time for her… I want to see how things go. I don't want to rush into anything," he told New! magazine.

Well, it doesn't seem like Chloe will be getting back with her ex Craig anytime soon, as she openly admitted that she felt no guilt for cheating on him with her X Factor co-star. "I'm not ashamed of what I did," she said at the time. "Because I believe it was part of God's divine plan. It probably didn't help that I didn't tell Craig straight away, but I didn't really have a chance to."

Speaking about what had happened, she said, "Stevi's a great guy. Our romance happened organically – we were talking about spiritual planes and then we kissed." 

Spiritual planes? Standard!

It's been a long week for X Factor judge Mel B, and it seems things are only getting worse after a series of dramatic events with her husband Stephen Belafonte.

The singer was admitted to hospital on Thursday of last week, with a mystery illness that caused her to miss Saturday night's X Factor semi-final. On her return to the show the following evening, viewers expressed concern about what appeared to be visible scratches and bruises on Mel's arms and face, and the fact that she was not wearing her wedding ring.

Stephen quickly took to Twitter yesterday to deny he had anything to do with Mel's illness or apparent injuries – but it seems the seven-year marriage is not as solid as it was once was. Mel did not return to the couple's rented London home after being discharged from hospital over the weekend, and she has reportedly opened up to friends about the rocky relationship.

"The marriage really is at breaking point and hanging by a thread. Mel is incredibly fragile and in a bad place," a friend said. "At the moment it’s not looking good at all… But Mel and Stephen are so unpredictable they could just as easily survive this," added the insider.

Although Mel has remained quiet on social media about her relationship issues, she did address them in a recent magazine interview. The singer appears on the cover of the current issue of Grazia, but she reportedly turned up late to the photo shoot due to a row with Stephen. "I walked in pi**ed off because I had a big row with my husband about stupid stuff. Sometimes he pi**es me off like no other, but he gets me," she told the magazine.

Despite their apparent marriage troubles, in the past Mel has always seemed very positive about her relationship with Stephen, describing him as her "rock" and an "amazing man" in a recent interview with The Guardian.

We hope Mel's doing okay.

Mel B’s husband Stephen Belafonte has taken to Twitter to deny allegations that he abused his wife. Speculation began last night when, after a stint in hospital, Mel B returned to her judge's seat on The X Factor panel.

Many people on Twitter began to speculate on apparent bruises that Mel B had, as well as the fact that she did not appear to be wearing her wedding ring. Questions also rose due to the fact that Mel’s sister, Danielle, yesterday wrote to Stephen on Twitter, asking: “What have you done?”

Now, the former Spice Girls’ husband has taken to Twitter to defend himself against the allegations, writing: “Idon’t usually respond to Twitter msgs but I will respond to comments of hitting my wife which I think are quite disgusting un true!” [sic]

He also called out those who accused him of such behaviour, saying: “Mel was very ill a bung of doctors helped her get better if fans can’t relax B4 being negative they r not real fans of @OfficialMeB.” [sic]

Mel herself has not responded to any rumours on her social media channels as of yet.

X Factor judge Mel B returned to the show for last night's final, despite concerns for her health. The singer was there to see Ben Haenow's victory, after she bowed out of Saturday' semi-final due to an unexplained illness.

Mel was reportedly admitted to hospital in severe pain on Thursday night, though details of her condition were kept under wraps. Her sister Danielle Brown took to Twitter over the weekend to demand more information from both Simon Cowell and Mel's husband Stephen Belafonte – but it seems she too was in the dark.

When Mel finally did return to her judge's chair last night, viewers immediately expressed concern after spotting what looked like bruising and scratches on the star's arms. She also appeared to have swelling and bruising on her cheek.

Fans took to Twitter to question if Mel was really ready to return to the show – and to ask why she had chosen not to wear a wedding ring. 

Although the singer seemed her usual animated self, she hesitated when Dermot O'Leary enquired if she was feeling better, before responding, "Yes… ish."

We hope she is doing better today!

Mel B’s sister Danielle Brown has released a series of tweets showing her worry for her sister, who is currently in hospital with a suspected stomach ulcer. 

In the shocking tweets, Danielle appears to blame Mel’s husband, Stephen Belafonte for something, writing: “And now you say she is sick but ok Where is my sister??? What have you done??”

The Twitter rant began when Danielle retweeted her mum’s worried message about her X Factor judge daughter: “Mothers worst nightmare to hear ur daughters seriously ill in hosp and not know where to go!!”

From there, Danielle began to say that she was just looking for information on Mel’s condition: “This is ridiculous and cruel!!! Evil! How can NO one tell me and my family where my sister is and what is going on?????” before turning to Simon and asking for his help in the matter: “How can NO one tell me and my family where my sister is and what is going on???? Can you please help? Or who can we contact?”

She then turned her sights to Mel’s husband, threatening to go to the police with abusive phone calls she allegedly has from him: “@stephenthinks1 if I have 2go press I will! Ive recorded your calls 4 the past week including your 330am abusive call and Mel visit 2dad … I am beyond desperate and this should be a private family matter!! But we don’t know what else to do if anyone at all can help then pls do.”

Wow – we can’t imagine what Mel and her family are going through, as it is known they have had problems in the past and by the looks of the tweets her family are not a fan of her husband, Stephen. 

Either way, we really hope Mel has a speedy recovery and can patch things up with her family eventually.

It’s only been two months since Katie Waissel very publicly called X Factor judge Cheryl “disgusting” – so what was she doing on last night’s show?!

Fans of the show were left confused when the former contestant appeared, as she has previously said that she wishes she had not done the show: “If I could turn back time and not fill out that form, I would give every penny in my bank account to do so.” Ouch. 

Katie joined in on a production of (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life along with other former contestants such as Wagner, Chloe Jasmine and Stevi Ritchie. 

While Cheryl has been known to give shade where shade is rightly deserved, she surprisingly gave Katie and the group a standing ovation – we bet Katie had some grovelling to do before she took to the stage!

To make matters even more confusing, Katie is said to have mouthed something to Simon following the performance, which many on Twitter have speculated looked like ‘you owe me.’ She later tweeted a very mysterious: “Bye Bye London!! See y’all on the other side…. #seeyounextyear #confirmed #chair” swiftly prompting rumours that she may take a judges' seat next year…

We can’t help but find that very difficult to foresee, but time will tell!

Tulisa Contostavlos has made no secret of her desire to return to the X Factor fold, and it looks like she has just had her wish granted.

With poor Mel B forced out of tonight’s show due to a mystery illness, it has been revealed that former judge Tulisa has been lined up to fill in for her.

The news was announced earlier today through the show’s official Twitter account, with producers confirming: “Unfortunately Mel B is unwell and on doctor’s advice she will not be taking part in tonight’s show. Tonight Tulisa will join the panel as a Guest Judge.”

Now, we know that Simon Cowell has stated that he has no plans to change this year’s “dream team” panel, but we have a feeling Tulisa will be pulling out all the stops to impress in the hope of making a more permanent return.

What are your thoughts on this latest twist? We’re excited!

It looks like former X Factor star Matt Cardle has found love just in time for Christmas.

According to reports, the singer has been cosying up to glamour model and Celebrity Big Brother star Casey Batchelor.

A source told the Mirror that Matt and Casey struck up a flirtation at an event last month and have been on a string of dates together since.

The eyewitness observed that the pair looked very smitten as they hit a nightclub together recently, telling the newspaper: “They were snogging and giggling.”

Very saucy!

While Casey did post an Instagram photo of herself and Matt together two weeks ago, neither star has come out and addressed the dating rumours.

This isn’t the first time that Matt has found himself at the centre of romance rumours with a well-known face. Last Christmas it was rumoured that he was seeing Mel C, with the pair putting on a very flirtatious show for the cameras after the release of their duet, Loving You.

We love a bit of romance, so we say good luck to them!

It’s the biggest weekend yet for The X Factor, with the winner due to be announced, so this news could not have come at a worse time.

Show bosses have revealed that judge Mel B may miss out on the live final due to a mystery illness.

Fears were first raised after the singer missed yesterday’s press event, with the star reportedly refusing to come into contact with her act, Andrea Faustini, for fear of making him sick.

Now, while no further details of the illness have been revealed, a source has said that Mel’s chances of recovering in time for the final are highly doubtful.

The source told the Daily Star: “Mel can’t help it. She is so poorly and may have to miss the final altogether. There’s a chance she won’t make it, absolutely.”

Mel has been a total revelation in this series, so it will be a massive shame if she misses the final show. Here’s hoping that she will make a speedy recovery in time to take up her seat on the famous judging panel!

Lily Allen may be known for her quick wit and is never one to shy away from confrontation but we think she may have met her match this time!

The singer had complained on Twitter about the fact that Mark Ronson’s hit Uptown Funk was performed on The X Factor ahead of its official release.

Lily tweeted asking: "Is this even out yet?" before claiming it was an example of music corruption, comments which have largely been removed from her Twitter account now. 

Simon has now hit back at the singer and gone for a particularly low blow – admitting that Lily had wanted to be a judge on the show: “The irony is I spoke to Lily about being a judge. And from what I took from the meeting, she was seriously considering it. Thank God I said no. She’d be a barrel of laughs.”

Shut. Down. We reckon Lily will find it hard to stay silent on THAT diss! That said, we would have loved to have seen Lily on The X Factor – maybe next year?!
