Between Rylan Clark and his sexy pandas, the relentless sob stories, the manufactured battles between the judges and voting controversies, it'd be easy to fall out of love with The X Factor if we couldn't poke fun at it.

For the past two series, The Fix Factor has been lampooning the show we love and love to hate with its cutting, and expertly crafted, comic panels. And don't tell Simon Cowell, but we're secretly massive fans!

The 'X Factor' final 12...sort of

We're sure even the big man himself couldn't help but chuckle at seeing James Arthur compared to Sloth from The Goonies, 'totally original' Lucy Spraggan wearing an 'I love Kate Nash' T-shirt, or The X Factor's gaggle of controversial contestants dismayed at Rylan's survival.

Not even The X Factor USA escapes a mocking - we always wondered if Britney was full of wires.

The X Factor continues Saturday (October 20) at 8.20pm on ITV1.
