OLLY MURS WAS left red-faced last night after making an almighty blunder on the X Factor – which fans are saying ‘proves’ the show is a fix.
During the Sunday results show, Murs mistakenly told contestant Monica Michael she was going straight home, miscounting the judges’ four deciding votes.
Co-host Caroline Flack quickly corrected Murs, and the decision went to deadlock.
Here’s the thing, though – Monica Michael was subsequently eliminated from the competition, being the contestant with the lowest number of votes this week.
While there were a few jokes about the gaffe…
Whoops!

If Olly Murs is absent from the show next week you know why. Simon is preparing his P45 as we speak. #xfactor
Murs apologised profusely for the blunder on the show and addressed the matter on Twitter again later, putting it all down to the ‘tense’ atmosphere in the studio.
I apologise to everyone tonight I made a massive f%#k up at the end. It was so tense!! I'm still learning & hope that never happens again!

The reaction wasn’t all bad, though – former X Factor host Dermot O’Leary was on hand to offer some words of comfort.
<3 u, Dermot. Come back to us, and everything will be alright.
