Humiliating: Louis Walsh has been forced to apologise for his claim on X Factor's live Saturday show that Misha B was 'bullying' one of his contestants



Louis Walsh stunned millions when he accused contestant Misha B of backstage bullying on X Factor's live Saturday show.

And less than 24 hours later the 59-year-old was forced to issue a humiliating apology for his inappropriate remark.

Now, in a bizarre twist, Misha's alleged 'victim', now-eliminated Sami Brookes, has declared that 'there was no bullying going on at all.'



Rubbish: Ex-contestant Sami Brookes, pictured on ITV Daybreak, said during her interview that claims Misha bullied her are completely false



Appearing on ITV's This Morning, 31-year-old Sami said: 'There have been accusations, but I'm going to stamp out the bullying thing. There has been no bullying going on at all.'

'Can you imagine? I'm nearly 6ft, she [Misha] is 5ft bloody 1. As if she's going to bully a big girl like me. It's laughable and ridiculous.'







Humbled: Misha has admitted that things have become heated backstage, but says that she has learned from the experience





Inappropriate: On the live Saturday show 59-year-old Louis said 'one of my contestants has complained to me that Misha has been bullying her'



Referring to Tulisa raising the subject of Misha's alleged 'mean comments' on the show, the singer added: 'I don't disagree with what Tulisa did. She was just standing up for her act at the end of the day'.

Sami finished with praise for her former rival, saying: 'Misha is confident in her own skin. She knows how to work it. She knows how to stand on a stage. I haven't got a bad thing to say about her, honestly.'



Kicked off: The entire controversy started when Tulisa said that she had heard reports of Misha making mean comments to other contestants backstage



Louis said last night: 'I shouldn't have called Misha a bully and I apologise for that.'

19-year-old Misha has defended herself against the judges' offensive comments, saying Tulisa's interjection 'hurt my feelings.'

While she insisted she had not bullied anyone on the show, she did allude to the fact that there may have been issues in the past. Misha said: 'I've made mistakes but I'm a different person now.'

Outrage: Kelly Rowland was furious that Tulisa and Louis had raised the issue of bullying in public



Not vulnerable: Sami has insisted that the idea Misha could possibly harm her is 'laughable and ridiculous'
