The X Factor 2017: Simon Cowell SLAMS Victoria Beckham as singer reeks havoc in auditions
THE X FACTOR will see Victoria Beckham come under fire from head-honcho Simon Cowell in a surprise attack during tonight’s episode.

While Spice Girl Mel B is an X Factor regular, Simon Cowell made it clear that he doesn’t rate her bandmate Victoria when he made a surpassing attack on the fashion designer.
Simon, 57, alongside judges Nicole Scherzinger, 39, Sharon Osbourne, 64, and Louis Walsh, 65, was clearly unimpressed by hopeful Queen A.
When the contestant - real name Ashleigh Jade Warwick - bragged that she looked like Posh Spice and had all the qualities of a pop star, Simon had the cruellest response after she wailed her way through a mash-up of Celine Dion and R Kelly.
"Well, you sound like Victoria," he teased, slamming the Spice Girl’s vocal talents.

The X Factor judges are forced to endure a string of painful acts tonight, including Megan Byrne’s “unique” take on I Put A Spell On You.
The drama comes after The X Factor celebrated its highest ratings of the year last night, with 6.3 million viewers tuning in to the third weekend of auditions - almost a million more than last week.
However, Strictly Come Dancing will return in full force next Saturday as the competition finally gets underway.

Last week, Strictly trounced The X Factor, with 8.8 million viewers tuning in to watch the celebrities get paired up with their respective professional partners.
The BBC competition was noticeably absent from schedules last night, which came as a surprise to some, as the stars are given a two week rehearsal break before going head-to-head on the dancefloor.
The X Factor continues tonight at 8pm on ITV.
