Love It or Hate It, It Has Given Us Some Great Memories

Forget the bad ratings and all the other criticisms because the latest series of the X Factor has included some real gems. From auditions to the live finals, here are our favourite moments...

1. Pink wannabe's terrible reaction to judges

Talk about kicking off the series with a bang!

 

2. Lucy Spraggan's audition

It was honest, it was different and it was unforgettable.

 

3. Louis Walsh getting a lap dance

We weren't quite sure where to look when this happened but neither was Louis!

4. Rylan Clark's reaction to getting through to the live finals

Probably the best reaction on the show EVER...

 

5. Christopher Maloney's reaction to winning the wild card vote

... Although this also came close.

 

6. Dermot O'Leary's entrances every week

Too many to choose from but seeing as this song has been huge this year.

 

7. Gary Barlow's 'fag ash' breath comment to Tulisa

It was harsh and shocking but that's why it's here!

 

8. Rihanna's Diamonds performance

It was raining inside and she got drenched: fair play.

 

9. Jahmene Douglas' duet with Nicole Sherzinger

Despite a microphone blip, this was an incredible performance.

 

10. The moment James Arthur won

Come on, we couldn't not include the man of the moment!
