Producer Richard Holloway, 63, hit back over being seen speaking to Louis Walsh just before angel-voiced Carolynne Poole got the boot.
A fan who claimed he was in the audience later said he heard Walsh tell fellow judge Tulisa Contostavlos he was briefed NOT to save the brunette after her sing-off with Rylan Clark.
The two — bottom in the public vote — were at the mercy of the four judges.
Walsh was visibly distraught as his decision meant camp Ryan was spared.
