The X Factor judge’s houses stage graced our TV screens over the weekend and whilst we got a look into the judge’s incredible lifestyles, most viewers were very unhappy with their choices.

As fans of the show watched on, the overs category battled for their place in the live shows at Sharon's house in LA but it was her final decision which left viewers angry.

After initially choosing to send controversial rapper Honey G home in the six chair challenge, many expected Sharon to do the same but this certainly wasn't the case.

The 63-year-old decided to take a 'risk' with Honey G and put her through to the lives with many viewers watching on in shock. After the decision many angry fans took to Twitter to vent their disappointment and even got the hashtag '#JokeFactor’ trending.

Watch her performance below:
