Singer loses X Factor complaint
A Pink tribute act who lashed out after being knocked out of the X Factor has lost her complaint against the show.
TV watchdog Ofcom said that judge Gary Barlow appeared to tell a member of the production team “we needed one of those” after Zoe Alexander’s outburst.
The production team member, replied “we got one”.
The TV regulator said that the exchange suggested that the show had engineered the incident. She had been unhappy with the songs the panel pressed her to sing
But it rejected Miss Alexander’s complaints about the way she was presented, adding: “In Ofcom’s view the programme showed a slightly edited, but accurate, version of what happened.”
