Simon Cowell and Mel B reportedly had a huge bust-up after Saturday night's show, after she branded his act Fleur East a cheat.
The 54-year-old head judge is said to be fuming with Mel, 39, for suggesting Fleur, 26, wasn't following the rules by having her backing track turned up.

Following Fleur's performance of It's A Shame by Monie Love, Mel commented: "I love the rapping, I love the whole look. My only thing is the chorus, I couldn't hear your voice. It was like cheating."

Simon immediately leapt to Fleur's defence, saying: "You're making the audience think this girl is cheating and that's unfair. She's not cheating.
"We put the backing vocals up because she was singing a different thing during the chorus."
But their disagreement apparently continued off-screen, with a source telling the Mirror: "Simon likes a lively panel but Mel took it too far."
