Others simply accused Cheryl of not being up to her co-stars standards, writing: "Oh, Cheryl. Being on stage with Oti and Matthew does not highlight your strengths."

However, the response wasn't all bad - with some fans taking to social media to praise Cheryl's mentoring skills.
One wrote: "I don’t care what anyone says, Cheryl makes for a phenomenal captain. She’s literally in her element. Look at her truly guide her acts."
Another added: "I can't get over how good @CherylOfficial looks tonight and that entrance."
Tonight's live show opened with Cheryl, Oti and Matthew bursting onto the stage to dance together, with all three judges having the same routine to learn.
However, Cheryl seemingly stumbled over the moves and lost track of the steps as she tried to keep up with her co-stars.
Each of the mentors then danced with their final three, putting on a show as they introduced the finalists.
