X-Factor:Come on over- it's the first live show. We've got vodka, nibbles and Robbie Williams!!

[Raahh]

Am really looking forward to this tonight. Am trying to find out what the acts will be singing, not sure what this weeks
theme is!

I was a little bit sick in my mouth there UQD, thanks for that image

What on earth possessed her to say that, she can't seriously have thought it was ok to do so?

She could have mentioned Cheryl giving the boys a quick hand-shandy each and a nice cup of tea back at the house, too. "Ooh, thankyou Mrs Cole. I feel ready to go on now."

IMO danii should be sacked for this. It is way out of order - who gives a stuff if he's bisexual anyway - the music industry is full of people of all sexualities wtf does it matter?

Do you think she's trying to go up against strictly - they have a racist comment - she makes a homophobic one?

Holly was probably told to avoid it for now until they know what they're doing.

Yes, that article was up before I could have even typed it.

Interesting UnquietDad....would seem to tally...especially as the first show has a higher chance of someone cracking under the pressure...someone must know someone who was there to confirm either way?

I wonder if they will "Show her the way to go" before next week! Indeed "I begin to wonder..."

Jux, send him over, I'm not proud. Once I've sobered him up he'll be good as new (and don't tell BHSL, think she's gone which means he's all mine).

Be interesting to see if Gok Wan mentions it on Xtra Factor now.

She's directed him into talking about Kandy Rain or else I'd have said the same as you eve

I've just given him his taxi money. He'll be about half an hour I reckon.

Oh the drama

See you all tomorrow evening...shame on you Danni...

I'm still here, and I'm not sober either......

I reckon the Dm article was written as the show was on. I've written reviews of programmes as they were airing. You know what's going to be contentious and you can edit it quickly after.

Gok should say something.

That article was posted at 10.04pm. Very suspicious.

I've emailed ITV. Twitter is going mad My friend in Florida has emailed me about this. Max Clifford will be working all night on this one.

It was defo written when the show was on as there was only a one-line blurb about what Dannii said and then it was sandwiched into the title.

I have a very strong feeling that everyone's been told not to say anything about Dannii's comment on this show until the producers can figure out what they're doing.

UnquietDad, did you have to use the "shandy handy" expression, its making me contemplate changing my name!

It must be live otherwise they would have cut it, wouldn't they?

Danni was a disgrace tonight, feel awful for the poor guy

Reportedly Dannii herself swings between Arthur and Martha, so one would think she'd be more sensitive to the ishoos. Or perhaps she is into Tatchell-like "enforced outing".

i'd like to think it was a misguided 'joke' rather than a public outing but then.....

Agree with previous posters, totally OTT. As my 3 year old would say 'ooh shocking manners'!

Oh dear Dannii is turning into Sharon Osbourne, and there was me thinking she was fab this year.

Tut, tut she obviously wanted to bring him down a peg or two but I think that faux pas is going to cost her dearly!
