Uh-oh! X Factor host Olly Murs had a fail as he announced the latest results on the show.

The singer and presenter accidentally announced Monica Michael would be leaving the ITV singing competition, after the judges gave their votes – when the result had actually gone to Deadlock.

Simon Cowell and Nick Grimshaw chose to send home Monica, while Rita Ora and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini decided to send Anton Stephans home.

The public spoke, and Monica received the fewest votes so she received the boot, along with Max Stone, who left earlier in another surprise double elimination.

Olly’s premature declaration led to some claims of the programme’s results being rigged on Twitter.

Other viewers were quick to pick up on Olly’s fail.

Some viewers called for Dermot O’Leary to return to host The X Factor, after he handed the reins over to Olly and Caroline Flack.
