The X Factor eliminees Stereo Kicks have suggested that Cheryl was "harsh" during their sing-off.
Stereo Kicks lost out in Deadlock to Cheryl's act Lauren Platt, but not before Cheryl had criticised Mel B for choosing to save the boys.
The X Factor Stereo Kicks' Casey on womanising rumours: "I love girls"
"I thought it was pretty harsh," Stereo Kicks member Chris Leonard told Digital Spy today. "The way Cheryl put it across was, 'You can't criticise them like that and then say yes to keep them in'.
"Cheryl gave out about people earlier on in the competition, saying that when they were sick you can't use that as an excuse. And then Lauren was a bit under the weather this week, but Cheryl brought it up. You can't say one thing and then do the other, it's not really fair. But it is what it is, it's happened,...

The X Factor eliminee Casey Johnson has admitted that he has a penchant for the ladies after scores of reports of his womanising ways.
Johnson, one of the members of eliminated X Factor boyband Stereo Kicks, explained that a lot of the rumours about him are incorrect.
Asked about one woman who claimed to have slept with him three times in one night, he told Digital Spy today: "That was a lie, that wasn't true. Genuinely."
But Johnson was a bit more circumspect when asked about reports he had been sending saucy text messages to the wife of Neil 'Razor' Ruddock, and as the rest of the boys laughed, he said: "Erm, I don't really want to talk about that. It's done now, it's dusted. It's under the rug."
"He likes girls and girls like him too," Charlie Jones suggested, with Johnson saying: "Don't get me wrong, I love girls...

Stereo Kicks have spoken out after leaving The X Factor.
The band left the show after a sing-off with Lauren Platt went to deadlock tonight (November 30).
Louis Walsh on Stereo Kicks exit: 'Everybody made a mistake'
Speaking on The Xtra Factor, Chris Leonard said: "If you'd have said [we'd get to the] quarter-finals, we'd have laughed.
"We never thought we'd come this far. As a group, we'd honestly like to thank the fans [and] everyone at home that voted."
He added: "That means the world to us. Thank you."
Jake Sims went on to say: "We've all experienced stuff we'd never have experienced without this show and it's just been amazing.
Casey Johnson offered a message to fans, saying: 'I'd advise anyone to go for the show. It'll change your life completely."
Tom Mann later addressed Simon Cowell's decision not to save them earlier in the night.
"It was gutting. We felt like Mel...

The X Factor group Stereo Kicks probably couldn't believe their luck when they got to rehearsals today.
The eight-piece boyband were snapped in their sound check at Wembley studios today and it seems that this week they're each getting up close and personal with a dancer.
Casey Johnson and Charlie Jones were spotted kissing their dancers' hands, while some of the other boys snuggled up with their partners on stage.
Some of the Kicks have already been noted for their womanising ways, with Jake Sims and James Graham admitting recently that they take girls to an Ibis hotel.
As part of this week's Jukebox theme, Stereo Kicks were given the song 'Run' by the public and 'Just the Way You Are' by former judge Tulisa Contostavlos.
Contostavlos didn't just stop at picking the song, either; she was snapped in a London recording studio giving the group some advice earlier this week.

The X Factor's new eight-piece boyband are still searching for a name.
The group explain to Dermot O'Leary on tonight's (October 3) episode that they are still going by the name New Boyband.
James Graham, Reece Bibby, Tom Mann, Casey Johnson, Jake Sims, Charlie Jones, Barclay Beales and Chris Leonard also discuss how they are getting along since the group was formed at Boot Camp.
"We've been having so much fun. We've been playing tonnes of football on the beach. Tom is a football coach, but he's so bad," Bibby jokes.
"It just feels so right, it's like one big sleepover," adds Mann.
The eight-piece go on to perform Justin Timberlake's number one single 'Mirrors' for their mentor Louis Walsh and his guest judge Tulisa Contostavlos.
The X Factor continues tonight at 9pm on ITV.

The X Factor is going there - we're getting an eight-piece boyband this year! The lads - who were put together by the judges after unsuccessful solo auditions - blazed through to Louis Walsh's Judges' Houses after their stirring performance of 'Run'... but what are they really like?
We met Reece Bibby, James Graham, Barclay Beales, Tom Mann, Casey Johnson, Jake Sims, Chris Leonard and Charlie Jones this week and tried to get them to settle down long enough to answer ten questions for us...
1. Do you have a proper name yet?
All: "No!"
Charlie: "We've had a few ideas and they've been awful."
Casey: "Chris's favourite is Walking Pavements."
Chris: "I think that's clever."
Barclay: "It's terrible. Terrible."
Casey: "Are you a toddler? What part of that's clever?"
Tom: "Walking is boring and pavements, pavements are so boring."
Chris: "So is Tom!"
[Everyone: Oooh!]
Casey: "To be fair,...

Louis Walsh. Tulisa. And a whole lot of groups. In Bermuda. We can't wait to see what happened at Mr Walsh's Judges' Houses stage, but at least we have these photos to keep us going for now.
Once you've recovered from Louis's shorts, read on for all the photographs you need from this weekend's Bermuda jaunt...
Only The Young
We were not ever this cool.
Here are Only The Young performing. Charlie, Parisa, Mikey and Betsy Blue compare themselves to the Von Trapp family, which is so uncool that it's gone all the way around and become cool again.
Blonde Electric
The outfits suggest that Louis Walsh will put them through instantly.
We don't even know what our favourite fact about Jazzy and Ruby is. That they've lived in 33 countries? That they speak five languages? That they're related to George Osborne? Too much to choose from.
New Boy Band
There are eight of them.

Well, it was something of a tortuous process, to put it mildly, but Louis Walsh has finally managed to name his Top 6 Groups on The X Factor.
But only three of them can make it through to the Live Shows, and we think Louis is probably going to need some help picking. So that's where you come in – let us know who you want to see progress past Judges' Houses!
Here's a quick reminder of the Top 6 groups:
1. The Brooks
The Young Ones
15-year-old twins The Brooks from Cardiff – Kyle and Josh, fact fans – are certainly very sweet. But they've not had an awful lot of screen time, so will that count against them?
2. Blonde Electric
The Divisive Ones
Blonde Electric are very much the Marmite of the Groups this year. Having been described as a female Jedward, it's definitely a love-or-hate situation. Louis nearly sent them home, before realising...
