X FACTOR faced fresh 'fix' claims tonight after Honey G revealed she already had an "amazing track" planned for next week - moments after the theme was decided.

The 35-year-old 'rapper' - who insists that she isn't a novelty act - proudly told host Dermot O'Leary she had a great song choice for next Saturday's programme - moments after the theme was picked live on stage.

On tonight's show, the Jukebox revealed that next week's songs would share a 'movie' theme - but it seems Honey G already knew.

Ant and Dec were roped in to work the machine live from the I'm A Celebrity HQ in Australia, and they eagerly told Dermot what the gang would be practising this week.

But when he asked Honey G how she felt, her answer left viewers' blood boiling.

She sneered: "Yeah really really excited can't wait, know I've got an amazing track lined up, it's going to be sick."

Viewers picked up on her revelation, and were quick to take to Twitter to call the show out as a fix.

One raged: "How does honey g already know she's got a "amazing track" lined up for next week if they've only just spun the wheel? #XFactor #fix."

Earlier in the show, Honey upset viewers when she appeared to make "gang signs" during the hopefuls' special musical tribute to the nation's war dead.

Host Dermot O’Leary informed viewers that the singing hopefuls would be paying a special tribute to Britain’s war dead with a ‘Remembrance Day performance’.

Dressed all in white, the contestants didn’t hit a bum note, but the performance still managed to make people feel uncomfortable.

It seems like hip hop and poppies don’t mix, and despite waving her arms around and wiggling her body, rapper Honey G – real name Anna Guilford – was silent.

However, it seems she still managed to offend viewers, with one branding her hip-hop lite ‘gang signs’ a “f***ing joke”.

The viewer fumed: “Honey g hand movements during the Remembrance Day song was a f***ing joke.”

Later on The Xtra Factor, added fuel to the fire when he explained the song choosing process to .

He said that each week after the show has finished, judges and their acts sit down together and choose what song to perform.

A rep for X Factor has been approached for comment.
