We know that Olly Murs is not a television presenter by trade, but we can't help but squirm after watching last night's X Factor fiasco. 

First of all, the singer and Simon Cowell favourite (he was the hit show's runners-up in 2009) kinda forgot about arguably the most popular member of the biggest boyband on the planet. 

Yes, One Direction came back to the place where it all began and performed their new single, Perfect, on the X Factor stage. 

Following a flawless performance, Olly chatted to the band members about their tour and being back in front of the judging panel. Olly goes down the line chatting to Niall first before questioning Liam and Louis. 

He then just ignores Harry. Yikes!

We don't know if it was intentional but it sure as hell was awkward to watch… and understandably the One Directioners present on the evening were less than impressed in the aftermath.

Indeed, with the audience booing and desperately urging Mr Murs to turn his attention to Mr Styles, the former had no choice but to awkwardly throw in a "hope it's not too bad down there" in the latter's direction.

However, the slip-up could be considered small in comparison to the major blunder he had later on in the show. 

Following the sing-off between Simon's Anton Stephans and Rita's gal, Monica Michael, the judges took the vote to deadlock – meaning that the contestant with the lowest public vote would leave the competition. 

Before the envelope supposedly containing the name of the contestant going out of the competition arrived on stage, Olly told Monica she was leaving. 

Ouch.

Caroline quickly reacted by pointing out that her co-host was mistaken. Apologising, Olly and Caroline go on to reveal that it is in fact (quelle surprise) Monica who is leaving. 

You can watch the absolutely cringe inducing moment below. 

Olly afterwards took to Twitter to apologise but fans were already crying out that the mishap proves the popular Saturday night show is fixed. 

Lucky for man himself, there was one TV presenter quick to defend him. 

It may happen to the best TV presenters, but we sure as hell don't remember Dermot ever making a mistake. We miss you, Dermo!

Breaking news! It turns out that even Adele is not immune to a good bout of bawling whenever she hears her own music.

In fact, Adele is very  aware that her music makes you cry, and is revealing that she uses herself as the test subject to determine whether or not a song is good enough to be tear-inducing. 

In her latest interview with The New York Times, Adele said that she knows she's got a good tune on her hands when she feels herself start to well up.

"In order for me to feel confident with one of my songs it has to really move me," she explained. "That's how I know that I've written a good song for myself — it's when I start crying. It's when I just break out in [expletive] tears in the vocal booth or in the studio, and I'll need a moment to myself."​ 

So when you hear Hello and start sobbing over the missed romantic opportunity with that random guy on the bus that you briefly made eye contact with 2007, you're exactly the kind of audience that Adele is working to reach. She really knows what gets to us all.

Prior to the release of her latest tear-jerker, Adele worried that she'd waited too long to release another album. She explained that she didn't see much buzz about the teaser that played during ​The X Factor ​— she only saw three tweets​. ​"I was like, 'Oh, no, I've missed my window.” 

"'Oh, no, it's too late. The comeback's gone. No one cares.'"​ Her boyfriend then showed her that the tweets actually numbered in the thousands, with good reason.

Hello seems to have been played nonstop since the release, and the amount of memes that is has inspired have surely broken some sort of internet record. 

Hello sold more than a million downloads in a week and is poised to become the biggest song of 2015.  So, Adele is clearly content with her in-studio testing process of crying her eyes out.

Cheryl and her French businessman husband Jean-Bernard have been married for less than two years, but their relationship has been under intense scrutiny from the beginning.

The pair have battled their fair share of separation rumours in the 16 months since they wed. Now, it looks like Jean-Bernard has had enough. 

He addressed speculation that the two are headed for a split because of the huge amounts of time they spend apart.

The 32-year old X Factor judge has been open about her hectic schedule they is keeping her on the road and apart from her husband.

Yesterday he took to social media and blasted those who make claims that they are heading for a separation. According to The Mirror, he has been away on business in France and Dubai and explained his absence on Instagram. 

“Yes I am working like everybody else to put food on the table but my priority is my wife as this is the last person that is family.”

He also wrote that he was “always going to be there” for is wife and that “even when my dad died I put my life on the line for my wife.”

“This is just nonsense. What matters is family and my wife is my only one left so if she need me I am always going to be there. My wife Cheryl is my priority nothing else.” 

Speculation about their duo’s marriage was sent into overdrive when it was noted that Cheryl had skipped her husband’s birthday celebrations in August.

He instead opted to spend his night partying until the wee hours with his friends.

This is not the first time that Cheryl's hubby has felt the need to defend their marriage. While he says he doesn't often comment on stories about them in the media, he did leave an interesting comment on a video posted by Nick Grimshaw. 

​

While it was quickly deleted, that didn't stop social media users from branding him posessive and rude. "Your comments on here earlier were pathetic. Did you delete them because you realised how stupid and unwanted they were too," commented one user.

He's in the notoriously tricky Overs category – not to mention that he doesn't get a whole load of love from the X Factor judges either. 

But it seems that the wider public is really getting behind Anton Stephens: leaked figures show almost a quarter of voters (23 percent) gave him the nod a week ago – meaning he beat bookies favourite Louisa Johnson (13 percent) by almost two-to-one.

Still, his most recent offering prompted the four-strong judging panel to throw a load of negative comments in his direction.

Indeed, Mr Stephens, who is being mentored by Simon Cowell, has now admitted even he wasn't a fan of the performance.

On the Xtra Factor the singer, who sang a mash of Meghan Trainor’s All About That Bass and Jessie J’s Bang Bang, explained: "I hated it. When I watched it back I just thought, 'Oh My God'.

"All that gold, and very little of me!"

And speaking about the song choices, Anton described singing them as like "wearing shoes that aren’t your size".

Nick Grimshaw had earlier stated that the staging as "like watching a really bad musical". "Those two songs are the worst songs you could have done," he added.

The same figures, obtained by The Daily Star On Sunday and collected on October 31, show that Seann Miley Moore made it into third place – just 1 percent behind Louisa.

However, despite this initial popularity, shockingly he went home last night as part of double-elimination special.

He was the cutie from Derry – who went on to reach the finals of 2008's X Factor. Indeed, he finished third behind only Alexandra Burke and runners-up JLS.

And while Eoghan Quigg made an unsuccessful bid to represent Ireland at last year's Eurovision (not to mention a disastrous solo album offering early 2009) he's otherwise been absent from the music scene.

Still, here at SHEmazing! we were delighted to stumble upon his Instagram account – a platform on which he boasts some 6,000 followers.

There, the now 23-year-old shares snap-shots from his life – and it seems that he's a lover of football, working out, and tattoos.

And while back in the day he courted PLENTY of attention from the ladies (not to mention a certain fellow X Factor contestant Diana Vickers) it doesn't seem that the former singer has anyone special in his life right now.

Form an orderly queue, folks!

Simon Cowell has opened up about his fears about becoming a father for the first time, and what advice he has for another famous father to-be.

He spoke with Good Morning Britain and explained that while he had something of a shaky start, he has since embraced fatherhood.

The X Factor judge, and music mogul, is father to Eric who is almost two years old.

Simon admitted that when he was Louis Tomlinson’s age, he doesn’t know how he would have cope with the news he was going to be a dad.

“But he did call me and I said, ‘When you’ve embraced it, you’ll be amazed how much you are going to love it.”

Louis is expecting his first child with stylist Briana Jungwirth in early 2016.

56-year old Simon added that he told Louis that having a child “will change your life for the better.”

He did admit that when he and Lauren Silverman first welcome their son into the world, he didn’t adjust as quickly as he would have liked.

“When he was about 5 or 6 [months old], I was like … I just don’t know what to do! Because he wasn’t reacting to me and I thought, ‘Maybe he hates me.’ ”

He explained that someone told him he needed to have more patience, and eventually it just clicked for him:

“Suddenly one day they are talking, listening, responding … communicating. It’s a whole different ball game.”

He did confess that he is not sure if Eric taking on all of his dad’s personality traits is such a “good thing” but his taste in music makes up for any of those worries.

“One of the first records I got on tape of him playing along to was a One Direction record, so he’s got good taste.”

According to some rumours he's set to make a dramatic return to the X Factor to help the show's falling ratings. Now Louis Walsh has hinted he'll be heading to the jungle instead.

Dropping the biggest hint yet that he will take part in the forthcoming series of I'm A Celebrity, the 63-year-old music manager revealed he does want to appear on the show.

Speaking with the Mirror, Louis hinted that a trip to Australia – where the reality TV series is filmed – in a few weeks might be a possibility: “If I'm not in the jungle this year, I'll do it next year.”

There had been speculation Louis would be making a return to Simon Cowell's flagship show after the 12th season has been suffering from disappointing ratings.

Having left the show last year, after 10 years as a judge, the former Boyzone manager has been heavily linked to I'm A Celebrity. Insiders are supposedly saying that the show's producers are very eager to sign him up.

Mail Online reports an insider saying: 'Louis would be fantastic in the jungle – we’d love to get him involved.

“He doesn’t hold back from saying what he thinks and he’s very, very funny.”

Louis also hinted that he may be making an X Factor comeback.Not too long ago on Loose Women, the veteran judge said:

“Simon said the door was open to me months ago. I talked to him last night. There is a possibility I might end up on the show, but I don't know for definite.

'I'd like to. I'm available. There is a possibility,” he added.

We never saw it before… we'll never not be able to see it now.

Yes, it's suddenly dawned on us – and the rest of the world – that former Eurovision winner Conchita Wurst and former X Factor contestant Rylan Clark are basically the exact same person. 

Today Conchita, 26, was a special guest on ITV's This Morning, a show on which Mr Clark, also 26, is a showbiz presenter.

And suffice to say that the talent TV show alumnus was also totally over the moon to be given the opportunity to meet the so-called Queen Of The Euro, who originally hails from Austria. 

In fact, at one point This Morning host Eamonn Holmes had to lightheartedly ask Rylan: "Can't you act professional?" To which he replied: "I can’t, I love her!"

The Belfast-native presenter then revealed a snap sent into This Morning by one of Mr Clark's fans which showed the former CBB winner mocked up as Conchita winning the Eurovision – which she did last year in Denmark with the hit, Rise Like A Phoenix.

And amid the wave of Twitter remarks on the similarities between the two performers, Mr Holmes also told Conchita that she looked like "a cross between Zayn Malik and Kim Kardashian".

Former X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos made her return to the red carpet at the 2015 Attitude Awards.

Putting her finest fashion foot forward Tulisa, who recently made headlines after crashing her Ferrari and getting arrested, turned plenty of heads in London.

The bash, which Sir Ian McKellan and Frankie Bridge also attended was held at London’s Banqueting House.

Keeping up the glam vibe at the event, Tulisa debuted a navy-blue velour pants suit.

The blue two-piece ensemble was from Topshop and the whole look including the shoes (also Topshop) cost €250. A red carpet bargain.

Considering Tulisa has often donned some more pricey pieces, the tailored cigarette pants and super-plunging blazer are pretty affordable in comparison.

Several years ago audiences were treated to some of Tulisa’s more expensive style moments as she and Nicole Scherzinger were the X Factor judges worth watching every week.

​Tulisa was more likely to be seen sporting designer dresses and full-length sequined gowns as she and the former Pussycat Doll went head to head in the style stakes.

​Topshop has long been a favourite of those on the fashion scene, but it is definitely more affordable than the couture frocks she was favouring in the past.

She kept her makeup for the evening simple with a dark smoky eye, a dusty pink lip and what looks like some skilled contouring.

Of late, X Factor host Olly Murs has been juggling quite a hectic schedule.

Not only has he been balancing his hosting duties with his new album release, he is also hard at work promoting his new book Olly Murs: Life On The Road.

Despite his busy lifestyle, it looks like Olly has managed to make the time to hit the gym. His trainer, Rob Solly, took to Instagram to show off his client’s impressive results.

Showcasing what can happen after 12 weeks of hard work, Olly's personal trainer, posted some before and after pictures of the singer.

"This is what happened to @ollymurs when we had 12 weeks training to get tour ready," he captioned the shot.

The newly-single presenter was standing shirtless before a mirror. The black and white snaps do highlight Olly’s trim physique, it looks like there might be some abs about to make an appearance too.

Impressive.

“During the 12 weeks we trained 3 times a week and Olly had 3 weeks where he didn't train,” the personal trainer wrote.

"The tour itself was fantastic and it was great to see Olly improve every night as his strength, fitness, mobility and performance grew. 

This is what it's like to be trained by @rob_solly. Picture taken from @ollymurs new book On The Road out now."

31-year old Olly asked Rob to help him get whipped into shape in the middle of his 50-gig tour that included Europe and Australia. While the tour may have come to an end, Olly is still keen to keep up with his fitness regime.

He posted a video to his Instagram page on Wednesday that showed Rob is still putting him through his paces.

Posting a stunning snap to her Instagram account, it's clear that X Factor's Cheryl Fernandez Versini had picked an incredible location for judges' houses this year.

Admitting that she was a lucky girl, she shared a photograph from Rome, Italy, which showed the breathtaking lakeside view from her bedroom.

Unsurprisingly, it was an image which quickly garnered more than 35,000 likes. 

"Oh wow… what I would give to be sat there for a couple of hours… amazing image x," one fan said in response.

"Wow such An amazing view," said another, while a third added: "What a beautiful view!! You are one lucky girl."

The 32-year-old singer was in the Eternal City for a whistle-stop, two-night stay. There, she was faced with the task of whittling down the groups from a total of six to just three. 

And rather than hire a private jet to transport her and her entourage, Ms Fernandez Versini was happy to catch a BA flight from London there and back, although she did enjoy a helicopter transfer to the luxurious villa on arrival in Rome. 

Still, her return journey was not entirely without incident: she said that she was surrounded by coughing and sneezing sick passengers. "Dear work," she added in an Instagram picture, "I think I'm getting sick I may need a week off."

Luckily, however, Cheryl had recovered sufficiently to make BFF and fellow Girls Aloud songstress Nicola Roberts's 30th birthday bash.

Held in London's swish Hotel Chantelle in Mayfair, the woman-of-hour herself looked stunning in a full-length black dress with thigh-high slit and a deep-V neckline.

 

Happy 30th to this gorgeous lady @lilcola thanks for a super fun night

Also in attendance was Kimberley Walsh, though noticeably absent were Sarah Harding and Nadine Coyle. 

The Roman episode of judges' houses will be aired later this month on The X Factor. Cheryl was accompanied on the trip by guest judge, Jess Glynne.

Simon Cowell, meanwhile, was in France for the same segment, while Rita Ora jetted to LA. Due to additional work commitments, Rick Grimshaw remained in England.
