Lose the attitude: X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos accused contestant Misha B of being 'mean' to fellow finalists backstage

Misha B has been one of the bookies favourites since her first X Factor audition in the summer.
But last night, judges Tulisa Contostavlos and Louis Walsh gave the budding singer, 19, a dressing down when they accused her of 'bullying' other contestants backstage.
Although she has impressed the judges every single week with her powerful performances, the two said they were concerned about her behaviour off-screen.

'I don't care what happens backstage': Gary Barlow tried to bring the focus of the panel back to Misha's performance

After a stunning rendition of Prince's Purple Rain for the 'Rock Week' theme, Walsh told her: 'Misha, every week you work it, You have a unique voice and you’re a brilliant entertainer. Did you ever see the Tina Turner movie Mad Max…that’s what it reminded me of tonight in a good way.
'You’re very confident, you’re a very confident performer. I hope you’re not too over-confident.'

Down: Misha looked upset and lost for words after the judges argued over her performance and backstage behaviour

But Contostavlos went into depth about the teenager's alleged backstage behaviour: 'There is no doubt about it, when it comes to talent you are way up there. Most people they come into the competition and they to be built up and progress but you came as a whole package and you are definitely the star of the show.

Split down the middle: Louis Walsh sided with Tulisa and accused Misha of 'bullying' one of his Over 25 contestants

'But I do have one negative this week. I think you are very competitive and I’ve seen a different side of you backstage and you don’t realise that you do it, but in some ways you being so feisty can come across as quite mean to certain contestants and I’ve been told by a few this week there’s been a few mean comments towards them.
'I’m not putting you down but take that feistiness and energy when you get on the stage and leave them all behind. Put aside the attitude.'
Gary Barlow tried to bring back the focus to Misha's performance, saying: 'I don't care what happens backstage and we shouldn't be getting involved in that.

'Amazing vocals, great vision': Despite the bullying allegations, none of the judges could fault Misha's performance as she sang Prince's Purple Rain

The X Factor results show is on ITV1 at 8pm on Sunday night.
