UPDATE: Simon Cowell made an announcement at the start of the Xtra Factor saying that Daniel and Ruth had got locked off the stage due to a faulty door……another good conspiracy theory ruined!!!!

Our eagle eye readers have pointed out to us that Daniel Evans and Ruth Lorenzo were not on stage during the performance of the finalists charity single, Hero.

I don’t know if the pair were crying backstage, or if they disagreed with the cause which the single will raise money, for but they certainly weren’t miming with the rest of the X Factor acts.

So what do you make of this turn of events? Any theories out there people? Leave your comments below!
