Jay Kay hits back at Cole, Minogue

Jay Kay has hit back at X Factor judges Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue after they failed to clap following his performance on the show.

Prior to his appearance, the Jamiroquai frontman branded the pair "f**king useless" and questioned their ability to judge the hopefuls. Subsequently Cole and Minogue both neglected to applaud the singer's performance of 'White Knuckle Ride'.

Discussing their reception, he sarcastically told The Sun: "Because that will really devastate me. 'If we don't clap we'll make him feel so bad he'll never want to work again'."

In a further dig at Cole, he added: "If you're the mentor you should not mime on the show."
