X-Factor producer Richard Holloway has hit back at suggestions that he interfered with Carolynne Poole’s exit on Sunday night’s result show.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, Holloway explained that he did not tell Louis Walsh to change his initial decision to keep Carolynne and send the bottom two acts to deadlock.
He said: "We never tell the judges what to do," he said, adding that the conversation was simply to let Walsh know he would be voting last. Holloway also said it would be "impossible" for anyone to overhear the conversation over the music on set.
The X Factor continues next Saturday, October 13 at 8.20pm on TV3.
