There is drama in The X Factor camp once again after it has emerged that Xtra Factor star Sarah-Jane Crawford is not the age people have been led to believe she is…

Apparently, Sarah-Jane is actually 33-years-old, rather than the originally believed 29. It is thought the discovery was made when certain dates didn’t add up; for instance, Sarah-Jane appeared on the reality TV show Shipwrecked in 2002, meaning she would have only been 16 years old, when contestants had to be over 18 to participate on the show.

It was also said that the presenter did her GSCE in 1997, which would have made her 12 at the time. However, The Sun says that while Sarah-Jane may not have revealed she was 33, she certainly did not lie: “People just assumed she was 29 and she has never corrected them.” Fair enough…

It has also been reported that Sarah-Jane may have been under pressure to appear younger than she really is, as particular companies aim to appeal to younger audiences.

Either way, we’re sure audiences love Sarah-Jane – after all, it's only four years!

Singer Lauren Platt was voted off The X Factor during last night's semi-final results show, but her loss could be the key to salvaging her broken relationship.

The 17-year-old was dumped by boyfriend Liam Baker last week after numerous reports emerged of a romance between Lauren and Only the Young's Charlie George.

At the time, Lauren said she felt bad for shoving her boyfriend into the public eye. "Liam didn’t sign up for X Factor — but he ended up being dragged along for the ride. And to do that to a person is hard," she told The Sun.

The young singer also defended her close friendship with Charlie, saying, "It’s very rare to meet someone who is exactly like you, and it is scary how much we are the same."

However in an interview with OK! magazine today, Lauren revealed she has hopes for her and Liam to reunite, and said the main reason for the break-up was her hectic schedule on X Factor. "When you're on the X Factor, you don't have a personal life," she said. "That's how it should be. You can't go in there half-heartedly expecting to do well. You have to go in there all or nothing."

The teen admitted that her and Liam are on good terms and that the split was not as heated as the media had reported it to be. "The break-up has been so mature… Me and Liam are in very good places, we're still in touch," she said, 

"One thing we do have on our hands is time. So to wait until my life has changed, however it's going to change, is nothing compared to what could be. Maybe we'll give it a rethink after that. We're kind of leaving it as whatever happens, happens."

Hmmm… we wonder if Liam is quite so chilled out about the whole thing!

Former Spice Girls singer Mel B has revealed that she has no vision in her left eye after corrective laser surgery went wrong.

The X Factor judge admitted in a recent interview that the incident happened 15 years ago and that she has been relying on limited vision ever since.

Speaking to Hello! magazine, Mel said she is now considering a cornea transplant to fix the damage to her eye. The complex surgery would involve doctors replacing part of her eye with donor tissue.

"I can't see at all out of my left eye. The lasering went wrong so this will be totally life-changing," the singer said.

Although she is a pro at TV work these days, Mel admitted she has faced difficulties at times, in particular when she hosted the MOBO awards last month. "I had a bit of a nightmare. I was reading the autocue and then suddenly I realised that I couldn't see properly," she said.

The singer received a lot of criticism for her "blundering" hosting skills at the awards, with many viewers disappointed by how disjointed the ceremony was:

Despite being keen to have her vision corrected, Mel says her surgery plans stop there and she has no interest in cosmetic procedures, hoping to stay youthful by being as healthy as possible. "I don't want to have botox or surgery because I want to have expression in my face, but I want to look after myself," she said.  "I'm not an idiot. Looks do count in this business."

We wish Mel all the best with the transplant!

If you thought things were dramatic on I’m A Celebrity this year, spare a thought for the ITV show’s neighbour, The X Factor.

In the latest scandal to rock the show, this year’s finalists have reportedly expressed their anger against Simon Cowell and his fellow judges over their favouritism of Fleur East.

According to the Daily Star, finalists Andrea Faustini, Lauren Platt and Ben Haenow are convinced that the judges’ clear partiality towards Fleur has ensured her win on this year’s show.

A source told the newspaper: “It’s beginning to look obvious the judges want her to win. It may as well be called ‘The F Factor’ – it’s very unfair. It’s been set up perfectly for Fleur to win.”

Fleur has received standing ovations and glowing reports from the judges so far, with her powerful vocals and funky image impressing at every stage.

While it is no doubt a tense time for the finalists, we’re sure the most worthy act will walk away with the title!

It has been reported that X Factor stars Andrea Faustini and Ben Haenow have been ordered to lose weight after apparently putting on the pounds in the X Factor house.

A source for The Sun reports that orders ‘from the top’ say that the singers need to “cut out biscuits and get to the gym.” According to the report, producers believe that the extra weight will affect their position in the competition and make their careers as future hitmakers that much harder.

Andrea has previously admitted that those in the X Factor had attempted to get him on a diet, but he wasn’t having any of it: “The X Factor tried to put me on a diet. For three weeks I ate broccoli and grilled chicken. But I hated it. Yuk.”

We're not sure how their weight could in any way affect the sales of their music if it is good enough to stand alone. It seems there is a lot more on The X Factor bosses' minds that simply bringing us the next new talent in music.

Viewers watching Sunday night's X Factor results show might not have noticed too much tension between Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Mel B, but behind the scenes things were really heating up.

Cheryl was reportedly "livid" that Mel chose to save boy band Stereo Kicks over Lauren Platt, an act of Cheryl's who had always been a favourite of Mel's. 

The former Girls Aloud star briefly addressed her annoyance on air, saying, "I find it amazing that the critiques have been a certain way over the last few weeks, then it comes to this part and it changes – that amazes me." 

Mel B was then spotted mouthing "You what?" at her fellow judge, but host Dermot O'Leary moved on before giving the singer a chance to properly respond.

According to an insider, it was after the live show ended that the cat-fighting really began. "Mel is more than capable of standing up for herself and when the cameras stopped rolling, she pulled Cheryl up straight away," a source told The Sun. "That led to a really frosty moment… Cheryl was livid that Mel turned on her act and the fact she called her out in front of millions of people just shows how angry she was."

Despite Mel's attempts to explain her decision to vote for Stereo Kicks, Cheryl apparently refused to sit next to her during The Xtra Factor, filmed after the results show. 

This isn't the first time Cheryl has moved seats following a row with a fellow judge – last month she demanded that Louis swap seats with her on air after coming to blows with Simon over his act Jay James. But it sounds like things could be a little more serious this time. "What happened between Cheryl and Mel B on Sunday was real." said the source.

"In Cheryl's opinion, Mel completely went back on everything she has been saying all series about Lauren and Stereo Kicks."

Wow… we hope they can sort things out before next Saturday!

Simon Cowell has blasted previous contestants of The X Factor as being fame-hungry.

The judge is seemingly sick of people using the competition as a way of gaining fame through any means possible: “There are people who come on this show who just want fame. They’ll do anything afterwards because that’s why they’ve entered The X Factor.”

Hmm, we wonder if Simon was referring to a certain Jake Quickenden, who entered the I’m A Celebrity jungle not long after his elimination from the singing competition…

He also defended contestants in the competition that are serious about music, such as Fleur East and Ben Haenow, saying they are genuine about making it in the music industry.

Simon also spoke about how he has enjoyed doing the show this season and says he hopes to expand the X Factor reach for new talent: “I still think we’re not looking everywhere for talent so I’m going to increase how we reach out next year, may take mobile units around the country. I want the net wider.”

Wow – it sounds as if The X Factor isn’t going anywhere for a long time yet!

There are worries for X Factor contestant Andrea Faustini after he reportedly barricaded himself in a room for 12 hours following last Sunday's showdown with Stevi Ritchie. 

Andrea was said to have 'fled' the X Factor studios after his sing-off, causing worry for his well-being. 

Staff at the hotel were said to be worried about the singer’s unwillingness to answer his door, and pleaded with him for hours until he finally emerged. It was said his sister Elena had also been in the room with him.

There are now fears he will not be able to perform on the reality TV show this weekend. 

Poor Andrea, we hope he feels better soon; this kind of pressure is never good for anybody.

We have to say, when it comes to X Factor romances, Stevi Ritchie and Sarah-Jane Crawford were not two names we would EVER have put together!

Clearly, however, Louis and Simon think differently, as they made a joke on this week’s Xtra Factor that the contestant and presenter were seeing each other – causing it to trend on Twitter!

While Stevi has now been forced to admit the couple are NOT dating, it seems he is still up for the idea, which is sweet, telling Digital Spy: “I know they’re trying to get me a date with SJ because I do have a soft spot for her, but nothing went on between me and SJ … I love her as a person, she’s a great presenter, she’s a good thing for The X Factor this year, but nothing went on, I never slept with her. I only wish!”

As far as Stevi goes, that’s sweet, we guess…sounds like we better watch this romantic space!

It has been reported that James Arthur has split from his girlfriend of twelve months, Jessica Grist.

The former X Factor contestant is said to be “gutted” following the split, but busy schedules meant they were unable to make things work.

A source told The Sun: “James is absolutely gutted. He thought Jessica was The One and was looking forward to a bright future.”

Thankfully, things seem to have ended amicably, with reports saying they are still good friends.

Six months ago, the singer left Simon Cowell’s music label Syco following rumours that the music mogul was planning to drop him.

It has been rumoured (and basically confirmed) that X Factor star Jake Quickenden is set to enter the I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here jungle – filling a void left by Gemma Collins’ shock departure.

The singer was spotted at a hotel on the Gold Coast of Australia and is said to be making a grand entrance to the jungle very soon.

Earlier this morning, Jake left his biggest hint yet that he is entering the show when he tweeted: “Morning campers, Hows every1 today?” If that’s not a clue then we don’t know what is!

Another famous face set to enter the I’m a Celebrity jungle is Edwina Currie, a former MP in the UK Parliament.

While we’re not convinced that Jake or Edwina will quite provide us with the entertainment Gemma was going to, it will be interesting to see how these two get on!
