X Factor viewers took to Twitter last night after host Dermot O’Leary was forced to apologise on behalf of judge Tulisa Contostavlos who used the acronym ‘MILF’ to describe contestant Melanie Masson.
The row started after Tulisa praised Melanie’s rendition of Paloma Faithâs Never Tear Us Apart, telling her âYou are in full MILF mode!â?
According to The Sun, an X Factor insider later admitted producers had gone too far, saying: âIt was a bit over-cautious and over-sensitive.â?
Many viewers expressed their bafflement with the need for an apology and even Melanie weighed in too, thanking Tulisa and later saying: âHave to admit, loved the MILF comment!â?
