The Clique had just performed TLC’s No Scrubs, but were unsuccessful meaning Corey, Jason and Rowland were asked to leave the stage.
However, as the trio departed Wembley, one band member decided to high kick the air but slipped in his high heels and smacked his back on the stage floor.
Discussing the performance with his fellow judges, Simon had said: “That was the worst we’ve heard!”
Nicole Scherzinger said: “You know what they did? They sang too much! They’re dancers. They should have just sang a couple of lines and put on a great show.”
Sharon Osbourne added: “But they can’t sing. They don’t have the voices for this!” as Simon sighed: “But there wasn’t even any fun.”
Judge Sharon then asked The Clique: “No, it was awful. Guys, what went wrong with the vocals tonight? The harmonies were way off.
“It just was not up to par tonight. It really wasn’t and we can’t in all good heart put those voices through. So we’re going to have to send you home.
As Simon patted Sharon on the back, he said: “That was exactly the right thing!” as the band member slipped on the stage.
Simon was horrified and gasped, as Louis Walsh asked: “What did he do?”
Sharon chuckled: “He did a big kick and fell back,” as Nicole added: “I watched him sashay off, sashay away and kick, fall!”
Greeting the band as the returned, host Dermot O’Leary quipped: “Well, if you’re going to make an exit…” as was rudely ignored by the embarrassed band.
The X Factor continues tomorrow on ITV at 7.30pm.
