The Sun has reported today that gorgeous man band, Take That, have pulled out of Saturday night’s X Factor final after hearing that their so called rivals, Boyzone, would also be appearing on the show.

I read it, I thought about it, I didn’t believe one word! Take That have no reason to be threatened by Boyzone, and since they had no problem performing on the same show as Westlife on X Factor 2006, I can’t see why they would be adverse to performing with the infinitely less successful and popular Boyzone this year.

An X Factor source has confirmed that this story is utter cr*p saying:

“They are in Italy booked for a gig anyway so they were never an option to perform,” while a Take That spokesperson told Gigwise: “There is no truth to the reports today, we would absolutely love to have Take That back on the show, but we have always been aware that the band have other commitments in Italy that night so have never been available to perform in the final.”
