We were delighted to read that Simon Cowell’s former right hand woman Sinitta may have bit the hand that fed her and managed to get herself ordered off The X Factor.

Sinitta is said to have leaked details of plans to change how the X Factor finalists will be chosen this year. She then helped to launch a website for singing wannabes, with a section called X Factor Challenge which claims hopefuls can “challenge the judges” by posting auditions online. She publicised her new project heavily at the Twilight premiere last week and is reported to have claimed that she could help get people on the ITV show.

Sinitta said: “I want to give people another chance. I will let people upload their efforts and have them judged by the public.

“I’ve thrown down the gauntlet to Simon to give people a place in the final.”

A source told The Mirror: “Sinitta loves being on The X Factor and getting screen time but it doesn’t look like she’ll be getting any more.

“The bosses are furious with her over this website and if it was anyone else there would be lawyers involved by now.
