They're celebrating 10 years of X Factor madness across the water, so they decided to throw together the ultimate X Factor mash-up, featuring the most famous and successful acts the show has produced.
They're all in there, from Alexandra Burke to Little Mix, Leona Lewis to Cher Lloyd, JLS to Union J, and of course, One Direction. That's why Matt Cardle's manager is not at all pleased to see that the fella who beat out the world's biggest boyband to take the crown back in 2011 didn't make the final cut.
Will Talbot told Digital Spy that he believes the show bosses are "attempting to erase Matt from the history books". Yikes. "19 million people tuned in to watch him win (on their most successful series ever). Since then, he has been bizarrely blacklisted from appearing on The Xtra Factor, excluded from every video compilation celebrating the show and he now won't be featured in the X Factor 10th anniversary video which airs tonight." Talbot said.
"Since 2010, he has had two top ten albums, one of which went platinum, and his combined single and album sales exceed 2 million units. In light of this, for them to purposely keep excluding one of their winners is undeniably perplexing to say the least."
In fairness though, Steve Brookstein didn't get a nod either, nor did Leon Jackson or Rebecca Ferguson. And they did just about manage to fit Shayne Ward in. Still, we think it could have done with a dose of Diana Vickers. The claw adds artistic edge, y'know?
