Carolynne Poole has spoken out over X Factor fix claims and Gary Barlow's reaction to her controversial exit on Sunday's show.

The country singer admitted she was a bit embarrassed about celebrating when she thought she was through after Louis said her name twice.

She went on to say that producers are always speaking to the judges and making changes, but she was annoyed that Louis "was having a chat" through her save me song.

Gary Barlow was "annoyed" backstage as they had been trying to brand the show as credible and that changed when Rylan went through and she went out.

However, the aspiring star did admit that she couldn't have been a favourite with the public as she came bottom of the votes.
