Laura White's shock X Factor exit has been raised in Parliament.
During a discussion about the prank phone calls made by Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross during Commons question time, Culture Secretary Andy Burnham claimed that politicians should "resist that temptation" to comment on editorial matters.
"Although the temptation is great in my case, having seen the wonderful and talented Laura White very harshly voted off X Factor on Saturday," he said.
Meanwhile, over 3,500 fans have signed an internet petition to get White reinstated on the show or signed to a record deal.
