Will Diana be punished by Laura’s fans on the X Factor?
17-year-old favourite accused of cheating to avoid last week’s show
Everyone from culture secretary Andy Burnham to Lily Allen has been busy voicing their disgust at Laura White’s ejection from the X Factor last Saturday.
The controversy deepened today when favourite Diana Vickers, who was granted a bye last week after being diagnosed with laryngitis, was forced to release a statement defending herself after footage of her shouting at an Bonfire Night party was aired on spin-off show the Xtra Factor.
Laura’s fans argue that it was convenient for Diana to miss the show because it was thought that her voice wouldn’t favour performing a Mariah Carey song, with Allen blogging that “out of respect to Laura I think Diana Vickers should have to sing a Mariah Carey song next week.”
