Miss Frank explain X Factor tambourine bust up

X Factor's latest evictees Miss Frank say an alleged row between contestants about a tambourine has been blown out of proportion. It is claimed Lucie Jones was hit in the face with the instrument by Joe McElderry during rehearsals for their group song. But Miss Frank couldn't believe the incident had made the newspapers. Graziella said: "How is that news? It was an accident. We didn't even see it happen." The trio, who became the third act to be voted off the talent show, also rubbished reports of rifts behind the scenes. Shar said: "Obviously at times it does get pressurised in the house. But people are so respectful if you need your space."
