Apparently the TV production staff, who were travelling with six female contestants, were detained for over two hours while they were probed by airport staff in Dubai.

The crew were travelling to the county with the finalists to work with mentor Dannii Minogue (who’s going to be supported by her sister Kylie), but security somehow got the impression that they were either making a negative programme about their customs, or that they filming a raunchy pop video.

But after examining all of their equipment (which they took apart) and after seeing their official ITV documentation  - they let them go. Thankfully.

Meanwhile girl band Tru Colourz have now been told to leave the X Factor after it was discovered one of girls was too young for the competition.

The group were jumping for joy when they made it through to the final 24 on Sunday night, but then the show's producers found out that one of the girls was under 16 and they were hastily told to f-off. They’ve now been replaced by four piece band Harmony Hood.

So much drama, and the live shows haven’t even began yet!
