This weeks The X Factor reject Paije Richardson, has added to speculation that Simon Cowell is deliberately keeping unpopular contestant Katie Waissel in the contest, as she generates press for the show.

Paije who was booted off the XF this week after being defeated by Cher Lloyd, told X magazine: "Katie’s… got something round her. It’s called protection. She’s got someone on her side."


"He (Simon) likes her. She brings a lot of press and so maybe he’s keeping her for that – but she’s talented as well."

Waissel has controversially managed to keep her place in show despite being in the sing-off FOUR times, with the support of Simon, including last weeks controversial decision which saw Aiden Grimshaw leave the competition.


In reaction to Aiden getting axed, fellow contestant Matt Cardle also previously blasted SiCo for saving the great one Katie Waissel, claiming that she "gets the show attention."
