One in five X Factor viewers wants Cheryl Cole sacked from the show over the Gamu Nhengu scandal, it emerged yesterday.
A poll of 2,000 fans revealed 22 per cent want Cheryl out after her outrageous decision to put through Cher Lloyd and Katie Waissel who failed to impress at their auditions at the expense of Gamu.
The study also found Cheryl’s popularity has taken a huge hit in the wake of the controversy, with her rating down from 7.8 out of ten before the series to 6.1 now.
Four out of ten people polled said Cheryl acted wrongly in booting Gamu off.
The Girls Aloud stunner has also fallen foul of boss Simon Cowell and fellow judge Louis Walsh.
The survey was carried out on Monday by OnePoll.com.

What you should focus on is that 80% wanted Cheryl to stay! But then when was the National media ever positive? Put the blame where it should be. Cheryl took the can, but we all know she was instructed who to put through because of visa problems. Gamu’s visa had expired in August, so she had lost the right to WORK in this country – how could she be put through??? Too many HYSTERICAL people in Britain these days, especially in the national press and on hatred websites!
exactly lets face it 80% is a hell of a lot and no one ever will get 100% of the vote and plus all the press ever focus on is the minority create a fuss never those who surport people in cheryls postion lets face it it rubbish that sell news papers never the truth
COME ON GET A GRIP YES GAMU WAS GOOD BUT SHES GETTING DEPORTED SO SHE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN IT ANYWAY, AND ITS CHERYLS CHOICE WHO TO PUT THROUGH IF ANY OF THOSE WHO SAYING SHE SHOULD BE SACKED COULD DO BETTER OR IS MORE TALENTED THAN HER THEN THEY WOULD BE IN HER POSITION. YOU ALL NEED TO REALISE THAT ITS A SHOW AND ITS ALL FOR RATINGS. YOU WOULD THINK WORLD WAR THREE HAS HAPPENED. I STILL LOVE YOU CHERYL YOU GO GIRL XXX
Who cares about those 20%?Be scared when those 80% would not watch X Factor anymore becaue cheryl is not there.lol
i agree there, gamu should have never been put out it, it should have been katie or cher as she failed to impress, i think cheryl picked who she like best on personality rather than on singing which is not fair as it is a singing competition.cheryl also wasnt there on the auditions so doesnt have the full story of how far gamu has come. gamu should be brought into the live shows and prove them all wrong.
