Twitter fury as T’Pau’s Carol rants at X Factor Gary for calling her tuneless
X Factor judge Gary Barlow was embroiled in a row with T’Pau singer Carol Decker last night after he branded her singing tuneless.

That angered Miss Decker, 54, who fired off angry Twitter messages to him, demanding ‘What’s your f****** problem? I actually have perfect pitch.’

Another said: ‘Gary Barlow You t***. And I had to suffer a Take That concert for the sake of my kids this summer.’

Amelia Lily has row with X Factor judge Gary Barlow
Furious Amelia Lily has had a heated meeting with judge Gary Barlow after he criticised her on live TV, asking him: “Why do you keep putting me down?”

Gary accused Amelia, 17, of shouting her way through her song on last week’s show and on Friday on Loose Women he called her “out of control” and “desperate”.

Angry Amelia demanded a showdown and he agreed to see her in his dressing room, where the Geordie singer gave him a piece of her mind.

A backstage source said: “Gary’s comments were hurtful as she respects his opinion, and they played on her mind Her confidence was very low.

“Gary told her his loyalty is to his acts and sometimes he has to be critical of other contestants. Amelia seemed to under­stand and left the room happier.”

X Factor crew wrecked our wedding: Pair’s reception is ruined by catering errors and starstruck guests as show takes over hotel
It should have been the perfect wedding in every way. The five-star country estate in leafy Hertfordshire had been booked for 18 months and bride Kelly Filistad had spared no expense.

But Kelly had not planned for the presence of The X Factor, which was filming scenes in the hotel on her big day in August.

Guests were served the wrong food, a wedding cake went missing, the DJ played the wrong track for the couple’s first dance and, instead of toasting the newlyweds, guests wandered off to find the ITV show’s judges.
