Little Mix did not receive the sympathy vote - Tulisa

Tulisa has never been one to bite her tongue, so we weren’t in the least bit surprised when she angrily responded to claims that Little Mix have only made it to the final with sympathy votes.

In reference to Gary Barlow’s harsh criticism of the girls during Saturday night’s show, Tulisa said, “”I think the people at home watching, who knew how amazing their last performance was, may have been angered by his comments, yes.

“But I think Little Mix fans are true and would have voted either way.”

Meanwhile Jade, Jesy, Perrie and Leigh-Anne were all smiles yesterday as they made a personal appearance at Romford Liberty Shopping Centre.

The girlband are going to be touring the country all week as they give it one last final push before this weekend’s final when the three remaining acts will battle it out for the X Factor 2011 title in front of 10,000 people at Wembley Arena.
