X Factor viewers slam Sharon Osbourne for forgetting her act’s name

Louis helped her out

Viewers of The X Factor have slammed Sharon Osbourne for forgetting her act’s name live on the results show.

Sharon was given the task to welcome Saara Aalto onto stage after finding herself in the sing off for the second week running, but it seemed to be too hard of a task for the judge as she couldn't remember poor Saara's name.

A confused Sharon was clearly caught on camera asking fellow judge Louis, "What's her name?" As Louis provided the answer, Mrs O eventually blurted out 'Saara Aalto'.

Viewers were quick to take to social media to slam Sharon for her 'embarrassing' actions, with some even insinuating she was drunk.

Luckily for Saara, Sharon forgetting her name was the worst to happen to her as she was saved by the public. After belting out Snow Patrol's 'Run' in the sing off against Freddie Parker, the judges split their votes meaning the result went to deadlock. Dermot revealed Saara had received the most votes, meaning Freddie left the competition.

The third live show continues next weekend for Divas week.
