THE X FACTOR wrapped up for another year last night, with Matt Terry being crowned the winner.

He beat out Saara Aalto and 5 After Midnight in an insanely close vote.

But the most iconic moment of the whole weekend was probably Honey G’s mic drop

How has no one mentioned the most awkward mic drop ever?! #xfactor #honeyg pic.twitter.com/A2D5MbbfAB

Of all the things that happened on an eventful double bill, this was the low point

I like Honey G but that mic drop is the most awkward and hilarious thing I've ever witnessed

It was the indecision of it all

Honey G debating on whether or not to drop the mic at the end has me howling. Hahaha. Such a mess. #xfactorfinal

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Honey G has stolen all the headlines this year, so it was only fitting that she produced the talking point of the final.
