It's thought to be the first time in the show's 15-year history that voting has been cancelled...

Last night's big blunder on X Factor has left a nasty taste in fans' mouths. Saturday's show was hit by sound issues that meant that viewers couldn't properly hear some of the contestant's performances.

Viewers complained that some singers sounded distorted and like "Daleks", and said the sound was affected from Danny Tetley's performance through to Anthony Russell's performance.

Fans of the show were quick to take to Twitter to comment on the weird sound, with some posting videos of what they were experiencing:

Even TV presenter Phillip Schofield weighed in on the matter:

Fans of Anthony and Danny, whose performances were affected by the sound, have asked if they will get to re-perform on tonight's show. One person tweeted: "Will you be showing anthony and danny performance again? Or letting them re perform to be fair"

Another commented on how Danny's live performances had been sabotaged: "Appalling again, it’s almost like Danny is being sabotaged!"

One user added: "Total joke 3 weeks in & every week Danny Tetley has either been announced as someone else or made to sound silly just aswell he’s amazing x both Danny & Anthony should be in regardless of the vote tomorrow night ITV total disgrace"
