'Cheryl is not happy': X Factor judge Sad After Backstage Clash

She may have one of the strongest categories on this year's X Factor, but Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is allegedly worried about the future of her acts.

The ITV talent show mentor is said to be furious that all four of girls have been squabbling behind-the-scenes and is afraid their catfights and 'b****y behaviour' could be their downfall.

The fighting is said to have kicked off when pucker contestant Chloe-Jasmine Whichello, 24, demanded a personal stylist and Lauren Platt wasn't impressed.

The 17-year-old singer, who impressed the judges with her rendition of Irene Cara's hit single with What A Feeling on Saturday night's 80s themed live show, is then said to have clashed with Stephanie Nala, 20, who ended up in tears after their squabble.

A third fight then reportedly happened between East Bolton lass Lola Saunders, 20, and Chloe-Jasmine.

An insider told The Sun newspaper: 'The girls' category is at risk of being torn apart by infighting and Cheryl is not happy.'

Troublemaker: Chloe-Jasmine Whichello, who performed Irene Cara's Fame, was reportedly the cause of the drama after angering the girls with her request for her own stylist

Another source told the paper: 'Cheryl was especially concerned about Chloe-Jasmine, so she took her to one side for a chat.'

A spokesperson for The X Factor told MailOnline: 'All of this year's contestants are very supportive of one another and having a great time living together in the house.

'Obviously it's a competition but nobody wants to see anyone go home at this stage.'

Meanwhile, poor Cheryl is having a tough week on the show, making a Muppet of herself In a one-shoulder green Lanvin gown.

The Girls Aloud singer was repeatedly referred to as Kermit (the Frog) by head judge Simon Cowell, which led to '#CherylKermit' trending on Twitter.
