Olly Murs and Amanda Holden have spoken out against arguments between the X Factor judges, and claim it distracts from the talent.

The X Factor panel has been the subject of much specualtion over arguments and fall outs, and two talent show personalities have spoken out against the stories.

Xtra Factor host Olly Murs told Digital Spy: “The judges have been the focus this year and everyone’s talking about them.

“People have been slagging off the talent, but I genuinely think there are some great singers.

“The tension between the judges is real. You’ve seen us interview the judges after the show and we had to deal with Misha-gate and the whole bullying thing and I was like, ‘Oh my God’. Then the next week, Kelly wasn’t there. But we expected that, we expected friction.”

Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden has also expressed her views. She revealed she would welcome another female on to the BGT panel, but claimed she “can’t bear when shows like this make out that girls are feuding behind the scenes.”

Do you think the arguments are taking the focus aware from the talent?
