According to The Sun, the latest person to get the chop from X Factor is Vocal coach Mark Hudson ( the one with the multi-coloured beard). Apparently, he made Simon Cowell ‘fume’ when he described X Factor winner Leona as having an incredible voice but not “using the face and the eyes to make people melt.”
A spokesperson for the X Factor has said: “Mark will not be returning for the new series.”

Truth sometimes hurt, Leona singer yes Star no. Simon tells it like it is so he shouldn’t worry about Mark’s comments???
