Joan Armatrading: I don't like X-factor when it's cruel

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Musician Joan Armatrading has criticised X Factor for being "cruel" to contestants. The Ivor Novello winning singer said she liked the programme when the audience laughed with, not at, the contestants. "Sometimes it gets a little bit, as if people are being used," she said. This clip is originally from Richard Bacon on Wednesday 3 September 2014.
