2011: Gary Barlow apologise to pop group T’Pau after tuning insult

X Factor judge Gary Barlow has issued an apology  to T’Pau’s Carol Decker, after he hit out by calling her performances of her track China In Your Hand out of tune, in last night’s show.

The track was performed by Amelia Lily on Saturday night. In his critique to the young X Factor hopeful, Barlow said: “I remember the original version of that song and it was nice to hear it sung in tune for once!”

But taking to Twitter, T’Pau’s Carol Decker hit back: “Gary Barlow you t**t! & I had to suffer a Take That concert for the sake of my kids this summer [sic]”

She added to Gary: “what’s your f**king problem ? I actually have perfect pitch”

Replying this morning, Gary said sorry: “Sincere apologies for my comment. There was no need. And sorry you had to sit through TT show. The things we do for our kids! [sic]”
