X Factor 2012: Kitty Brucknell hits back at Gary Barlow for "joke" remarks

X Factor 2011 star Kitty Brucknell has said Gary Barlow was wrong to brand the Over category stars as “jokes” in previous years.

The Take That star also took a swipe at last year’s winners Little Mix this week, describing the talent in the last series as “average”.

He told the Metro newspaper: “My complaint at the end of last year is I thought the contestants weren’t good enough. I thought we had a pretty average year last year.”

Kitty, who was mentored by Louis Walsh in the Overs category last year, took to Twitter to quickly hit back at Gary’s comments.

She wrote: “You know, I haven’t spoken about this until now…but it’s really upset me what @gbarlowofficial said about the overs category …yes, in previous years there has been a less serious category, and some contestants haven’t taken it as serious, but…

“There are some of us who worked at perfecting ourselves as artists day in day out. If I had entered this years show…

“I would have been in the unders, not the overs. And I STILL have my strong work ethic and my dedication to my craft…”

Kitty continued: “I totally understand that he is trying to get people to see his category as serious contenders this year, 100%respect that, but some of the things which have been said is really hurtful, especially about our year. I worked my ass off, still do….and I might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I certainly don’t consider myself a joke.”

The former Britney Spears impersonator added: “I just wanted to put that out there. I LOVE Gary & respect him hugely as an artist and person, but I needed to say this, I hope you don’t mind and can understand where I’m coming from. Breaking the norm is hard enough, without constantly having to dodge boulders that are thrown your way. X Kitty ”

Kitty also backed Carolynne Poole to succeed on the show this year, after missing out on the live finals last year.

She tweeted: “Oh!!! And for the record, I was incredibly shocked when Carolynne didn’t make it last year & am rooting for her big time! She will shock u!”

I know a lot of people hated Kitty last year but I for one enjoyed the hell out of her. She was in my top 3.

Gary seems to forget that he mentored Frankie Cokeupthenozza
ellaellaeheheh 3rd-Oct-2012 09:32 pm (UTC)

yes kitty, you would have been in the unders and you would not have been chosen for the live shows at all. so take a seat.

ive missed so many episodes of this now. this years auditions stages really pissed me off with the fake towie/chelsea-like segments and how much the style of it has changed.
viicckky 3rd-Oct-2012 09:29 pm (UTC)
live shows start this weekend!

The Overs always was a joke category because they kept giving it to Louis who filled it with novelty acts. If he was actually taking it seriously Carolynne would have got through last year, not Kitty.
viicckky 3rd-Oct-2012 09:41 pm (UTC)
He also put Goldie Cheung through
lauracoy 3rd-Oct-2012 10:51 pm (UTC)
Oh Kitty, you and your scary as fuq face. No.
labhaoise 4th-Oct-2012 12:13 am (UTC)
why is it over 28s this year and not 25s a usual . last time they did that was when Matt cardle won and he would have been in the overs category if it was left at 25

He didn't mention her by name... so if she thinks he's talking about her, then deep down she must believe it...
givemethepeasx 4th-Oct-2012 06:41 pm (UTC)
the irony is that gary was the one with the joke act. cuntcozza. kitty was miles better than him.

And he keeps heaping praises about Frankie. Kitty's "It's Oh So Quiet" was the best of the last series IMO.
