Simon Cowell has sacked his X Factor vocal coach just days before the first live final.

The 50-year-old music mogul was unimpressed when he heard his acts rehearsing and sacked newcomer Ali Tennant before reinstating Yvie Burnett, who he fired after the last series.

A source said to UK newspaper The Sun: "The new coaches weren't cutting it. The groups have a lot of complicated routines and weren't gelling at all. There are only three days until the live shows but when Simon saw the shambles he fired the new coaches and bought back Yvie.

"Now the singers only have a few hours each with her to get it right. The show is in chaos."

Tennant's manager Alex Field said they were surprised at his sudden sacking.

He said: "Ali proved popular not only with the contestants but also with the judges. He was the only vocal coach to be invited by Simon Cowell to his house in Malaga for the selection stage. He was extremely surprised his contract was terminated without notice."
aww I like Yvie
