Photos:X factor judges sacked for humiliating contestant, Backlashed by the public, see their angry tweets

Disgraced New Zealand X Factor judges Willy Moon and Natalia Kills have fled the country after they were sacked from the show for cruelly bullying a contestant on stage.

Kills launched into a tirade at Joe on the first of the live shows, saying: 'Ladies and gentlemen, I'm just going to state the obvious, we have a doppelgänger in our midst.

'As an artist who respects creative integrity and intellectual property, I am disgusted at how much you've copied my husband.'

The hateful spiel caused a social media storm, with thousands of people lending their support for the contestant Joe Irvine who was victimised and condemning the actions of the judges responsible.

 Angry twitters users who felt she isn't original herself and copies most celebrities came for her.....Lol, See what they wrote
