Laura White - X factor 2008

Speculation is rife that Laura White may already have been reinstated on the X Factor.

The Sun reports that Laura told fans in a London street, “Don’t worry, I’m going back on the show.”

An online petition calling for Laura to be taken back onto the show has received more than 35,000 signatures so rumours suggest that this, and the general outrage over her being voted off, has made X Factor bosses rethink the situation.

X Factor bosses have released a statement today however denying all rumours, a spokesperson said:

“There were absolutely no issues with the phone lines or the voting system which is subject to rigorous procedures and protocols. Our viewers vote for the act they want to keep in the competition and last Saturday, Laura White and Ruth Lorenzo received the least number of votes. There are no plans to bring Laura back to The X Factor.”
