When Alexandra Burke was in the judges bottom two for the second week running in 2017, rumours abounded that the singer had had a meltdown post-show. Some viewers also took to Twitter, using the platform to air claims that the singer was only in the bottom two due to racism. However, Alexandra herself tweeted that there had been, "NO meltdown... just happy that we made it through another week xx". Claims of racism were mostly crushed when fans pointed out that Alesha Dixon and Ore Oduba had won previously.
