some of the x factor contestants are reportedly at breaking point as the final approaches.

Stacey solomon is worried that she may be voted off because of her lacklustre performances, the sun claims.

A friend told the newspaper: "she knows she's a good singer, but she's not energetic and can look wooden."

meanwhile, lloyd daniels has apparently confided in his mum that he wants to go home.

Olly murs has said that he resents the fact some of the other finalists seem to be getting an easier ride, while danyl johnson has threatened to quit if his performance is not up to scratch this week, the newspaper states.

John & edward are also reportedly at "rock bottom", convinced they will end up leaving on sunday.

However, joe mcelderry is apparently taking the pressure in his stride and breezing through rehearsals.

The x factor continues tonight at 8pm on itv1.
