Sharon Osbourne has been hiding a cheeky X Factor secret - the show judge has been using cue cards to remind her what to say after a number of on air blunders.

During Sunday night’s live results show she was caught holding up a piece of paper in front of fellow panelist Louis Walsh’s mouth when he tried to interrupt her.

On the sheet, a message read: "The name of the act I am sending home is…"

The words "sending home" were underlined to emphasise that this is what Sharon should say.

Sharon has been left red-faced on a number of occasions this series after sometimes forgetting the names of her own acts.

During Saturday night’s episode she couldn’t remember who she was supposed to introduce with fellow judge Nicole Scherzinger helping her out, saying: "It’s Honey G."

Earlier in the series Sharon forgot the nationality of her Finnish contestant Saara Aalto.

She was also asked to give an introduction directly to camera for now departed aspiring rapper Honey G but Sharon looked into the wrong lens.

And even presenter Dermot O’Leary couldn’t help commenting on Sharon’s scatty behaviour, saying: "We want whatever Sharon’s on."

Sharon made a passionate plea with viewers and her fellow judges last night after her act Honey G found herself in the bottom two.

She was voted off in favour of boyband 5 After Midnight who will be back next week.

After hearing the news, Honey said: "The X Factor team is amazing, this has been the most amazing experience of my life, to everyone who doubted me, I’m standing here and I made it this far."

The X Factor will continue next Saturday with this year's semi-final and will feature Christmas songs performed by the remaining contestants.

Saara Aaalto, Matt Terry, Emily Middlemas and boyband 5 After Midnight will battle it out to make it through to the next week.
