It's normally down to the public to vote for their favourite X Factor contestant, but this year one of the hopeful's has taken matters into their own hands.
Christopher Maloney, 39, has admitted that he votes for himself every week and would do so even more if he had more credit on his phone.
Speaking about the rumours, the Liverpudlian admitted: 'I have voted for myself a few times.
He's his own biggest fan! X Factor contestant Christopher Maloney has admitted that he has been voting for himself
'So has everyone else – I doubt my calls have made much of a difference...If I had more credit on my phone I'd vote more.'
However, it's not just Christopher who has admitted to the calling and texting, but also behind-the-scenes staff too.
According to The Mirror, one said: 'I've seen him dialling and redialling his own number over and over again. It's sad really but he wants it that much that he is spending a fortune.'
But although Christopher is insisting that all of the contestants are voting for themselves, a source has actually stated that they are infuriated with his behaviour and that production executives have branded him 'desperate.'
The Liverpudlian said that he would vote for himself even more if he had more credit on his mobile phone
'You can't outlaw this sort of behaviour but it leaves a very sour taste. It's against the spirit of the show,' the source said to the newspaper.
Christopher, who is the only contestant left in Gary Barlow's over-28 category following Kye Sones' exit last weekend, may be starting to panic as judge Louis Walsh slams his performances every week.
Even Kye couldn't hide his true feelings about Christopher and has slammed him for voting for himself.
When asked why he thought the cheesy singer hadn't been in the bottom two yet, Kye told The Sun: 'God knows. He must have an expensive phone bill!'
Not happy: Kye Sones, who was voted out of the ITV1 show last week, has branded Christopher as being 'very tactical'
He also went on to say that Christopher hadn't struck up much of a friendship with any of the other contestants.
'All of us have got really close and then you've got Chris. We've been a really strong group and he's been an outsider — and that's nothing to do with any of us lot,' he said.
'He's very tactical. There are two different people — one when cameras are there and one when they're not there.'
Go away. Please. And stop banging on about "me Nan"!!!
