Nick Grimshaw Confirms Replacement For Tom Bleasby On The X Factor… And Fans Are NOT Impressed

Hmm… This isn’t going down too well. While Tom Bleasby quit The X Factor earlier on this week after deciding that he wasn’t ‘vocally ready’ for the show, speculation has been mounting as to who will replace him on Nick Grimshaw’s panel of lads. Now though, it sounds like the replacement is in fact lined up, and that controversial contestant Mason Noise will be making his way back to the talent show for the Judges’ Houses section. Judge Nick Grimshaw confirmed the news on the Radio 1 Breakfast Show this morning, revealing that Mason will be back despite going head-to-head with Simon over the weekend. https://youtu.be/YPy0uNpR7M4 “It had to be Mason,” he is reported as saying. “But he can really, really sing and he’s a performer and entertainer, and for me as a judge, he is someone who knows who they are. "I called him last night and said, 'Let's not talk about what happened. It happened and let's just get on with it. Let's have no more of that and just focus on the music'." Hmmm…. Here's what fans had to say.
