X Factor: Simon Cowell makes HUGE blunder
All four judges had just watched 19-year-old twins Achilles and Phillip mooch about, lifting their tops up as they performed a Justin Bieber hit.
However, their singing did not impress and their boyband, titled Pretty Boy Karma, were looking like they would be sent home.
Louis Walsh sniped at the pair: "You make Jedward look like Simon and Garfunkel. I’m serious.”
Simon then explained to the hopefuls: “Look, get the voices right before you get the clothing range. It has to go in that order.”

Yeah guys, it’s four yeses, but nice to meet you. That’s… I mean, what am I saying?
As Louis, Sharon and Nicole all said no, it was down to Simon to issue the final verdict.
Delivering his say on whether they would make it through to Boot Camp, Simon said: “Yeah guys, it’s four yeses, but nice to meet you.”
As the contestants smiled at their shock luck at getting through despite three noes, the panel all turned to look at Simon.
Horrified, 65-year-old Louis jumped in and snapped: “Four noes!”

The X Factor continues tomorrow on ITV at 8pm.
