Sharon Osbourne made a huge gaffe on The X Factor last night
Oops!
Last updated 30th Oct 2017
The X Factor live shows finally started this weekend, and we were delivered not one, but TWO programmes of singing as the acts were spread across the weekend.
Last night, it was the turn of Nicole Scherzinger’s overs and Simon Cowell’s groups (Alesha Dixon was standing in for Simon as he suffered a fall on Friday and was forced to pull out).
Towards the end of the show, just before the results were revealed, Dermot asked the judges which of the acts they think deserved to go through.
Sharon, who isn’t famed for being on the ball with the names of contestants (remember when she forgot her own act’s name last year?), said she was rooting for ‘katsu’.
KATSU!
KAT - SU
After Nicole informed her Katsu is a food dish, Sharon said: “I like Ratsu”.
She obviously meant to say Rak-Su, but Twitter pretty much went into meltdown at her gaffe...
Oh Sharon 🙈
Despite Sharon getting their name wrong, it turned out to be a great week for Rak-Su. After performing their own song 'Mamacita' on Sunday night, the group won the public vote and were given the chance to perform in the new 'Prize Fight' round against Grace Davies.
The two acts performed again for the chance to win a trip to New York to see 'What About Us' singer P!nk live in concert.
However it was Grace who won the vote and therefore won the first ever 'Prize Fight' round.
In other X Factor news, it was a bad weekend for Spencer Sutherland and Talia Dean, both found themselves with the lowest public votes and left the competition.
Spencer performed Jessie J's hit 'Who You Are' on Saturday night, but found himself in the bottom two alongside Louis' wildcard act Leon Mallet. On Sunday night, Nicole's wildcard Talia Dean performed her own rendition of One Direction's 'What Makes You Beautiful', but failed to impress viewers.
Watch Spencer's performance below:
The X Factor continues next Saturday and Sunday on ITV. Let's hope Sharon spends this week learning their names! 😂
