X Factor star Matt Cardle reportedly squared up to fellow contestant Wagner Carrilho after losing his temper with the Brazilian.

According to The Sun, producers had to step in to break up the altercation during rehearsals for tonight's show. They were apparently concerned that someone would get hurt, following karate expert Wagner's claims that he is being bullied..

Cardle allegedly went "nose to nose" with him and shouted: "Who the ******ing hell do you think you are, calling us bullies? You're the ******ing bully. No-one likes you and you're a pain in the arse.
.
"That's why you've been booted out of the house. We don't want you around. As far as I'm concerned you can ****** off and never speak to me again."

A show source claimed that they had "never seen anything so frightening", adding: "Matt was livid. He just flipped. We genuinely thought Wagner might give him a hiding."

Earlier this week, Cardle insisted that the public stop voting for Wagner to stay in the competition.
