Wagner you've been caught!

We asked the question a few days ago: should Wagner be sent packing now? It really does seem like the 'joke' with him is wearing a little thin. Well news has just emerged that is sure to tick off a lot more people than his rubbish singing has.

It's been reported that Wagner is actually receiving £91.40 a week in incapacity benefits. That seems a bit odd when you take into account all of his energetic dance moves and the flamboyant shimmying that he does on the show each week.

Wagner is already said to be quite unpopular in the house and as we reported earlier in the week he has reportedly been throwing temper tantrums backstage - shouting at young female crew members.

So who exactly is voting for him? Do you like him and find him entertaining? Do you think it's fair that talented singers keep going out every week but this man is kept in??

As Mr Cowell always says. It dosent matter what they write about you as long as they write something about you. I think its a joke but hes loving it topic of everyones lunch breaks and thats all hes interested in is people talking about his show well the Cheryl and Simon show!!!

the show is well past its sell by date and should be re-named the simon and cheryl ego show. One week we hear them say 'its a singing competition' the next its about entertainment. of course it's fixed!!

Yet another wild allegation to smear Wagner. None of these stories have been backed up with any proof. Shame on all of you who have swallowed this without evidence and more disgusting is No.1 for doing Cowel's dirty work and spreading his lies. This rubbish convinces me even more to VOTE WAGNER!

The jidges have no one to blame but themselves, THEY put him in the running in the first place.

-----------------

Sandi at 8:51 on 19th Nov 2010

You can't blame the voters - Simon, Louis and whatsername from Pussycat Dolls shouldn't have put him through in the first place ahead of much better singers.

I think this guy should be chucked out of the comp right now. Who on earth is voting yto keep him in? Are there that many tone deaf people out there? As for the benefit cheating - get him reported right now and be "done" for his blatant disrespect for the hard working taxpayers who keep him on this when he doens't deserve it. This type of beha iour makes it difficult for genuinely disabled people having to justify why they receive a benefit they genuinely need and have a right to.

I find Wagner quite entertaining. I'll continue to vote for him. X Factor is an entertainment show, so why is everyone getting so serious?

-----------------

Trevor Williams at 19:49 on 18th Nov 2010

GET RID OF WAGNER the show gives talented people an opportunity to make something of their lives yes Simon gets richer in the process jealousy is not an excuse to ruin a good show

It was reported in the newspapers that the reason Gamu was not put through was because of visa problems BENEFIT CHEATS are worse he should be put out of the show asap,seemingly it is online voters the same morons who voted for last christmas`s No 1 who are keeping him in when will he realise that it is not a real vote they are only doing it to get at SIMON COWEL

-----------------

Margaret at 19:49 on 18th Nov 2010

Margaret. Salisbury. I really am not going to watch this show next year. I believe it must be fixed. It's getting more like a comedy show. With out alll the backing singers and dancers neither Wagner nor Katie would be any good at all.

-----------------

Diane at 13:47 on 18th Nov 2010

Totally agree with all of you, its even embarrassing, disgusting, plz get rid of him

-----------------

CHRISSY at 13:47 on 18th Nov 2010

MATT & REBBECA are the best, if they get voted out over wagner, i will notwatch this farce again!!

-----------------

CHRISSY at 13:47 on 18th Nov 2010

He should have been kicked out weeks ago, who exactly is voting for him? i know no one who likes him, and great singers have been voted out, its just not fair, i am begining to think its all fixed, as he causes a lot of media attention, which is good for the show!

-----------------

Beverley Rayner at 12:32 on 18th Nov 2010

I live in an area surrounded by benefit cheats don,t want to watch one on TV get rid now.

-----------------

Anon at 12:26 on 18th Nov 2010

IF his background is as "dodgy", as is claimed, then he should be expelled, as he is in no way setting a good example. I personally detest him! Everything about him seems to be false! In addition, he is depriving someone who actually has talent from having an opportunity to shine.

-----------------

james at 11:55 on 18th Nov 2010

Of course it isn't fair the show is a complete joke and no decent talented professional singer ( myself included) would ever audition for X`factor now for the mockery it has made year after year putting through people like him over actual talent. Its a stain on your career not a help!

-----------------

TJ Cox at 11:55 on 18th Nov 2010

Get rid I say had just quite enough of him and a benefit cheat to, make sure they get the money back and give it to someone who really needs it

-----------------

Audrey at 11:54 on 18th Nov 2010

well well well what on earth did he think he was doing???? silly man, so he is dishonest and Katie is dishonest??? how many more? is my question

-----------------

Freddie at 11:54 on 18th Nov 2010

Rubbish singing!!! What about Mr Grimshaw & his intensity, abs garbage. Matt & Rebecca are the only 2 who can actually sing in key, the rest are there for the judges egos.
