The Destiny’s Child star had ditched Amelia on the first live show – and is said to be privately embarrassed the 17-year-old has come back and done better than her favourite female act Misha Bryan.
The pair should have been inseparable this week ahead of the final but have barely spent any time together.
During Amelia’s home visit to Middlesbrough on Wednesday, mentor Kelly, 30, only stayed at her family’s house for around 10 minutes, refusing to eat or drink anything, before returning to her hotel suite.
Family friends say Amelia is worried Kelly wishes she had not been brought back to the show.
One said: “Kelly couldn’t hide the fact she didn’t want to be in Middlesbrough and seemed to spend most of her time in a hotel. Amelia was out all day trying to drum up support while Kelly was nowhere to be seen. The feeling is she’s not too fussed about what happens and doesn’t really want Amelia to win.”
Kelly even flew to Germany on Tuesday to promote her album and appeared on the German version of the show.
Her spokeswoman said last night: “She is working outside of the show, but that is because she has got an album to promote. She is the only judge who has that.
“But she is completely committed to Amelia, is working hard with her, and wants her to win.”
Little Mix mentor Tulisa was constantly by her band’s side for a press conference, two home visits lasting hours, a party and gigs.
And Gary Barlow boasted: “I went up to Liverpool and had an amazing homecoming. We were at Marcus’s mum’s house and I ended up with a baby on my knee and his nana and grandad giving me stick.”
A show source said: “Kelly seems to feel embarrassed about the situation. She dumped Amelia, so what would it say about her expert opinion if that girl goes on to win the whole competition? It would probably be easier for her if she doesn’t win.”
Last night Kelly and Amelia sat together a party but an onlooker said: “They barely spoke and were both sat texting. There was clearly no love lost between them.”
