X Factor 2016: Former winner Louisa Johnson slams Honey G 'fix' claims
X FACTOR may have been dubbed a "fix" for controversial rapper Honey G to make the final, but last year's winner Louisa Johnson does not think that this is the case.
Honey G's knee slide goes seriously wrong on The X Factor
The 18-year-old - who recently returned to the stage to perform her new single So Good - is adamant that the show cannot be "fixed" because she said that she's been on The X Factor herself.
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Louisa said: "I don't think it's a fix. I've been through the process and no way is it a fix, but I feel like Honey G is doing her thing, she's happy, she's doing well for what she's doing."
She also added when asked if Honey G could bag this year's Christmas number one: "I don't think she'll get number one. Everyone loved her on Saturday [though], so she might, but we'll have to see."
Louisa hit headlines after her performance due to her "raunchy" outfit causing quite a stir on Twitter.

I feel like Honey G is doing her thing, she's happy, she's doing well for what she's doing.
However, she insisted that she didn't let the "silly" comments bother her.
The singer went on: "I'm happy with what I'm wearing. I feel good in it, I feel confident. I've just got to let it go over my head.
"Outfits are the least of my worries and I don't really care [what people think]. It's just silly."
Louisa's comments come after Honey G was forced to hit back last weekend after viewers accused her of using the N word live on television.

Louisa insisted The X Factor is NOT a fix
The "North-Weezy"-based rapper performed her own rendition of 'Jump' by hip hop act Kriss Kross, having been inspired after seeing the duo play when she was just 13-years-old.
Immediately after Honey G sang, some audience members took to social media to complain after they misheard the word "flavour" for the offensive word.
The 35-year-old contestant has since defended her performance on Twitter.
Honey G wrote: "To be clear I did not use any offensive language. I sang the correct lyrics and said 'kicking the flavor that makes you wanna jump'."
The X Factor continues tomorrow night at 8pm on ITV.
