AN X Factor wannabe described by judge Simon Cowell as the “most annoying ever” has made it through to the live finals, TV Biz can reveal.

Some 8.3million viewers saw 19-year-old Kimberly Southwick frighten the judges with her hyperactive performance in Saturday night’s show.

The pub landlord’s daughter warbled through TWO songs after admitting she was pumped up on energy drink Red Bull.

Shocked judge Dannii Minogue confessed Kimberly “scared the living daylights” out of her. And Simon said she was possibly “the most annoying contestant we’ve ever had”.

But despite her over-the-top approach, the blonde Brummie was put through to Boot Camp.

And we can reveal the Country and Western fan proves a huge hit there — becoming the TOAST of the base in Heythrop Park, Oxfordshire, and winning a place in the finals.

An insider said: “Kimberly may seem annoying, but she can certainly sing. She becomes one of the real characters of Boot Camp.”

Brother and sister act Same Difference, also branded “annoying” by Simon, went through too
