WATCH: Strange X Factor Footage Sparks Concern That The Competition Is Fixed

Footage of an X Factor audition has raised suspicion among viewers that the competition may be fixed.  Observant viewers have noticed something amiss in The First Kings' audition which aired this weekend, leading to speculation that their audition was a set-up. This video, uploaded to Facebook by a viewer, shows one member of the band throw his jumper into the crowd. However, in the final shot the jumper is magically tied around his waist again. The band had already gotten chins wagging, with people taking to Twitter on the night to question the fact that they were allowed back-up dancers and a slick-looking introduction.

First Kings were definitely a set-up "audition" they wouldn't allow just them to have a video intro and backup dancers lol

Not sure how the first kings had a video screen? Favouritism? — JAMIE LAMBERT (@JamieCollabro) August 30, 2015

However, here's no denying that the all-singing-all-dancing group performed a fantastic rendition of Bruno Mars' Uptown Funk and went down a storm on the night. Just to remind you, here's the full audition. (We are STILL bopping to this.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD1qpmN1mzc Video via YouTube/TheXFactorUK Hat Tip: The Metro
