X Factor Faces Backlash Amid Claims Contestants Were Misled

X Factor producers are reportedly facing backlash from contestants who claim they were misled in the audition process.  According to the Daily Star newspaper, auditionees who received four yes votes from judges at the London and Manchester auditions were led to believe that they were guaranteed a place in bootcamp. The judging panel consists of Rita Ora, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Nick Grimshaw and Simon Cowell.  However, it now seems this is not the case as the publication reports that those who were successful in the first round have now received an email warning them that they may not make the bootcamp cut. The email apparently reads: "The standard of auditions has been very high this year and, with a limited number of places available at boot camp, sadly we cannot offer everyone who received a 'yes' in their audition a place in the next stage of the competition. "We are writing to inform you now as we want to be clear with you about the process and also to make sure that you do not book any travel for next week." X Factor hosts Olly Murs and Caroline Flack.  An anonymous contestant apparently told the newspaper: "Having been successful at my arena audition, I thought I had made it to boot camp. "Now it seems my place on the show is still undecided. Contestants will not find out their fate until Saturday evening. I feel X Factor needs to be shamed for this shocking incident. They are playing with people's lives." Cheryl at the first round of auditions in London. X Factor representatives have not released a statement regarding the incident thus far.
