Every year there is drama on The X Factor but this series seems to be worse than ever with Mel B and Louis Walsh at loggerheads over Paul Akister’s recent departure. The former Spice Girl is annoyed (in fact we wouldn’t be surprised if she is out for revenge) that her fellow judge sent Sunday’s vote to deadlock, which led to her act being sent home. She told The Sun newspaper: “Paul won the sing-off hands down. I said to Louis, ‘I am so angry at you, come on, don’t wimp out.’ He told me to shut up. I won’t tell you what I said after that.” The judging panel on The Xtra Factor following Paul Akister's departure. Speaking about his decision on The Xtra Factor, Louis explained: “I wanted to see what the public think. Both of them were amazing in the sing-off. Jay was really good too – I thought both of them were incredible. They both upped their game.” Mel replied: “I think that’s wimping out a little bit to be honest, I really do. You have a feel of who you think is worthy of staying in the competition and you have that choice.” According to reports, she is now trying to convince show bosses to allow Paul to take part in The X Factor live tour.
