You may have heard that last night’s X Factor was absolutely jam packed full of dramz.

If you didn’t watch it, Ryan Lawrie and Honey G were in the bottom two, and Simon Cowell, SIMON COWELL (!), opted to save Honey G.

(Alongside Sharon Osbourne and Nicole Scherzinger, so she made it to next week)

The Xtra Factor’s Matt Edmonson was just as confused as we were, later saying to Simon: "At the start of this process, if you’d have said there’d come a time when Simon Cowell saves Honey G in a sing-off, people would have said it’s never gonna happen."

Simon replied: "You have to make a call in the moment, and I think if we’re being honest with each other, watching the show last night, I can see a very very clear three or four people who’ve got a real shot.

"I don’t think Ryan would have gone any further. I think he’s done brilliant to go as far as he has… Whatever you do, you’re going to be unpopular, but the truth is, unless Honey performs a miracle, she’s not going to win this show."

He was then asked why he didn’t think she’d win, to which he replied: "I think that the frontrunners last night, they absolutely stepped up. I mean they were really, really good. So, I'm sure Twitter's gone mental, but that happens."

This comes after Sinitta exclusively told heat that Honey G winning would serve Simon right.

Lol.

Speaking to us at Winter Wonderland, she said: "Even my kids love Honey G. She is the children’s entertainer. You need to look at her like that, it makes sense. When you start comparing her to rappers like Snoop Dogg and Biggie you are like 'seriously?"

But Snoop Dogg wants to collaborate with her?

"I really think she could win. I hope she does because Simon will have to make an album with her and it would serve him right. It would be funny though."

Could she?
