X Factor Matt Cardle may be too ill to sing on Saturday night’s X Factor Semi-finals show.
The former painter and decorator – who is the bookies favourite to win the competition – failed to appear at a gig this week after losing his voice and now insiders are worried that he won’t be able to sing on the live show.
A source said: “Matt is putting a brave face on things but his voice is in a bad shape and he could miss the semi-final. He’s really low because he’s desperate to be at his best for such a vital show.
“Matt was advised by doctors to rest his voice so didn’t perform.”
Speaking before the show at the Hospital Club in Covent Garden, Matt told disappointed fans: “Sorry I can’t sing tonight. I just have to hope my voice gets better for the weekend. There is not much else I can do.”
As well as Matt struggling with his voice, his fellow contestant Mary Byrne has also lost hers and is a doubt for tomorrow after struggling at the show on Wednesday.
The source told the Daily Star: “She felt fine and was given the go-ahead to sing but was having problems afterwards. She was very upset.”

O, Iforgot one little thing, when Cher lost her voice in the judges houses nobody felt sorry for her, so we don’t have to feel sorry for Matt, or Mary I think. It’s not nice thinking of me I know, but, it’s a competion and only one person can be the winner so…….
Well then we have 3 acts left, and Cher then will win the competion, because Rebecca doesn’t move at all, she is glued to the floor every single time she sings a song she is like a puppet. She didn’t sing the rock songs well, because it wasn’t rock at all. And One Direction is a nice boyband, but like next doors guys, simple but nice. The only one who really is different is Cher. So CHER TO WIN THIS YEAR.
