The X Factor has been accused of playing up to and fixing situations for the cameras.

‘X Factor’ reject Debbie Stevens threw a glass of water over Westlife manager Louis Walsh on Saturday night’s show but insists Sharon Osbourne told her to do it.

Debbie, 18, revealed to Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “After my audition went really badly Sharon took me in hand and led me out of the room because she could see I was upset.

“When we got outside I told her I was so angry with Louis for saying I would never be a star I felt like I wanted to throw water over him.

“What they didn’t show on telly was that Sharon told me: ‘You go ahead. Do it! Soak him, but use Simon’s glass because it’s got more water in it’.â€?

This revelation comes hot on the heels of last weeks news that Sharon Osbourne had refilmed the scenes where she learned of a devastating fire in her home. Reality TV? Maybe not!
