The more we stare at this picture, the more we have to admit that the sight of Olly Murs in total and utter ecstacy at being kept in The X Factor isn't the most attractive thing we've ever seen.

But we still think it's a leeeeetle bit unfair that he's being slated for leaping and whooping and grunting without so much as a "there there" in Lloyd's direction.

Lloyd was crap. Lloyd totally outstayed his welcome. We all knew that, so we're pretty sure his fellow X Factor contestants knew that too, and must have been feeling rather anxious about the idea of someone so average staying in at their expense. And anyway, Lloyd doesn't need faux condolences from Olly when he has Cheryl to tenderly stroke his sunkissed locks and reassure him that "it's alreet, pet, yous got a greet futcha doon Butlins".

At least Olly's emotion was genuine. Lloyd's not his best mate - they've only known each other a few months, and they're all in it to win it - so there's no way his natural instinct on hearing the good news about his own fate would be to cuddle some random teenager from Wales and make out he's gutted to see him go.

Some people are even saying that Olly's less than gracious victory has scuppered his chances of going any further in the show. Er, no. He's made it to the semi-finals, and Joe's going to win anyway, so it's all pretty much meaningless from now on.

It's still not a very attractive pose though. If that's his sex face, we'll stick with Danyl Johnson/ do it in a different position/ make him wear our Jedward mask.
