Singer Michael Bublé has denied claims that he mimed during his appearance on 'The X Factor' last weekend.

Speaking to Scott Mills on BBC Radio 1, he said: "People, whoever you are, if you're writing on these blogs or whatever, if you think that I'm miming, you're an idiot."

"You're so used to being fed c**p and you're so used to seeing people jam microphones in their faces because they're lip synching, that when you see somebody using actual mic tehcnique and move a microphone away... it's crazy."

"I'm shocked. Did they not listen to me? I was flat! I sang flat! And I was out of breath. If I was going to lip synch, wouldn't I just do it to my recording?"

"I have mimed for videos but never have I mimed for a live TV show. I think if you're dancing it's acceptable, but I wasn't dancing, so it wouldn't have been acceptable."
