If you were watching the X Factor last night, or you spent any time on social media, then you're probably aware that there was a stage invasion during Honey G's performance. It was actually the highlight of the show, if you ask me.
Controversial act Honey G was giving her rendition of MC Hammer's 'U Can't Touch This' (ruining a classic) when a group of men stormed the stage.
They were ushered off by security, while high-trouser-sporting-music-mogul Simon Cowell gave an apology to Honey G.
As ever, people took to Twitter to claim that this somehow proved the show was a fix. I don't understand why these people insist on this and then watch it every single week, but there we are.
It wasn't a fix, though. And the group behind the stunt,Youtubers Trollstation, have come forward to claim responsibility.

TheLADbible spoke to Endrit Ferizoli, one of the guys from Trollstation and the gentleman who was wearing the red hat. He said: "James Slattery [another member of the group] was in a police costume and he was supposed to come on and jokingly arrest her for impersonating a rapper. He was wearing the uniform but the way ITV showed it you can't really see it.
"I went up to her and said: 'Don't worry, it's just a prank, you're my favourite' and she knew it was a joke and took it really well. I had the mic and I was supposed to get it to James so he could carry out the prank of arresting her but by then security were on stage. When I was taken off stage, Simon Cowell gave me a cheeky wink. He knew it was good for the programme to make it relevant again."

After being carted off stage by security, someone from the production team called the police. Bit heavy. Endrit told us: "They came and recognised we were from Trollstation. No-one was hurt of assaulted and it was left at that. They even forgot to ban us for life. Perhaps they want us back?"
