After being seen yelling her head off at a bonfire celebration, is Diana Vickers pulling a fast one?

Should last weeks contest be declared null and void and the contestant that was voted off last week be brought back?

'On Thursday I saw the doctor and was given antibiotics and the following day was diagnosed with Laryngitis by a Harley Street specialist

Did it need a Harley Street specialist to diagnose Laryngitis?

Wasn't a NHS GP good enough, and who paid the bill?

In order that you ask:

Nope - she's sick, and was medically certified as so. The bonfire night was three days before the show - she became ill in the interim

Yes, but not for the reason you're getting at - Laura (voted off last week) is a real talent, unlike one or two others on there. As your story points out, tens of thousands of people agree - and there's at best a question mark over the voting with many claiming they were unable to vote.

Nope. But money talks and if you can afford the best that's what you can pay for.

Yes, an NHS doc would've been good enough, but why have a burger when you can have steak?

Lastly - the voting public paid, through paying silly money to vote so that Simon can find a few new acts to exploit.

You can be sure the Syco Productions will have funded the specialist.

If a busy overworked NHS GP had been called in, you would have moaned about misuse of public resources - you can't have it both ways.

On the contrary andy it is rather silly to suggest that I would have moaned about the misuse of public resources, if she had popped along to see her GP.

How could I? There are millons of people who go along to see their GP's if they feel there is a need, why should she be any different?
