X Factor technical blunder: Show will be REPEATED tonight under emergency plan

EXCLUSIVE: X Factor bosses have had to pull together an emergency plan after major technical issues ruined last night's performances

The X Factor has revealed Saturday's entire show will be repeated again tonight after a huge blunder.

And the public vote will be reinstated this evening after it was cancelled last night over technical issues.

In a statement to Mirror Online, a spokeswoman for the ITV show addressed what happened when Danny Tetley and Anthony Russell's performances were ruined by poor sound quality.

"Each of last night's performances from our 12 contestants will be played out in full on tonight's X Factor before the public vote opens," said a rep for the show.

"This follows the sound issues on part of last night's show."

It means that tonight's X Factor episode will actually be five minutes longer than it should, pushing the documentary Sheridan Smith: Coming Home into the next time slot.

And loyal viewers will have to sit through performances they've already seen on a second prime-time spot in a row.

Last night's blunder saw hundreds of viewers complain about the sound while watching two of the contestants' performances.
