WATCH: Is Olly Murs gutted by Rita Ora's snub?

Singer overlooked Olly as X Factor talent

Published 14th Dec 2015

It’s reported that Olly Murs looked on the brink of tears on The X Factor final, when Rita Ora seemed to snub him.

After a successful singing career it’s hard to remember that Olly was once a contestant himself, finishing as a runner-up in the 2009 series.

But it seems like Rita forgot about this.

Standing on stage with her arm around her final act, Louisa Johnson (who later won the show) the ‘Poison’ singer said:

"I'm so proud of her. I've watched this show and I've been such a fan of this show.

"But there's only two people in my opinion that have made this impression - and that's Leona and Louisa… And that’s honest.”

Watch the awkward moment below.

People on Twitter noticed Olly’s reaction, with some saying he looked gutted.

Poor Olly!

His single 'Kiss Me' is out now, which has reached number 7 in the UK Download charts.
