AXED: Misha B

MISHA B'S chances of winner this year's X Factor were ruined the moment judges Tulisa Contostavlos and Louis Walsh accused the singer of being a "bully" backstage, say a majority of Voice Online readers.

The 19-year-old, who was once favourite to lift the coveted trophy, was axed from the ITV1 show in the semi finals after failing to secure public votes following the damming accusations.

Although Tulisa - whose act Little Mix went onto win the show - later apologised for her comments, more than 80 per cent of those who voted in our online poll said these views had turned viewers against the talented teen who found herself facing elimination for two consecutive weeks before she was booted out.

Fellow judge and Take That star Gary Barlow said he too believed the accusations had ended the Manchester star's X Factor dream.

"You have been wrongfully accused in the past of being someone that you are not. The really horrible truth behind this is, even if you're lucky enough to get through, I don't think you can win this competition because of that and that's a real shame," he said.

The popular series, which ended on Sunday (Dec 11), saw Little Mix make history when they became the first group to win the show.
