Ben Mills threatening to quit X Factor

X Factor’s Ben Mills is threatening to quit the show claiming it has been fixed for rival Leona Lewis to win.

The 26-year-old contestant is furious that the song chosen to be the winner’s single - Kelly Clarkson’s ‘A Moment Like This’ - is more suitable for a female voice.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “Ben’s really angry about the song. He doesn’t want to record it and has been saying he will walk out of the show before the final if he thinks anything else is swung in Leona’s favour.

“All the remaining contestants are meant to record the song this week so that it is ready for release once the winner is announced.

“But Ben thinks Leona now has an unfair advantage and is convinced he’s being stitched up by Simon Cowell.”
