X Factor's Gary Barlow 'S****ing' Himself Every Weekend Over Ratings

X Factor judge Gary Barlow has very candidly revealed that he's "s****ing" himself every weekend because he is so worried about the show's ratings.

Well, it's no wonder following the reports that the X Factor is constantly being trumped by the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing in the ratings battle.

Talking to Grazia about his fears for the show, the Take That front man admitted: "There’s no question that every week when I’m waiting for the text with the ratings I’m s****ing myself. I want it to be great."

The judge, who is hoping to mentor Marcus Collins to victory in next week's final, also revealed that he finds the media coverage of the show as very "aggressive."

He added: "The people who write about it are so vicious; you are actually sat in a big goldfish bowl. I’m judging and people are judging me judging - it’s bizarre."

With less than two weeks to go, who are you rooting for to win the X Factor this year?
