"X Factor&amp;#039;s Jahmene Douglas has reportedly refused to sing Katy Perry for this week&amp;#039;s group song. According to The Sun, the 21-year-old told producers that he would not perform &amp;#039;Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)&amp;#039; because he believes the track&amp;#039;s lyrics glorify drinking alcohol.  &amp;quot;Bosses are desperately trying to find a new song for this weekend&amp;#039;s group ensemble after Jahmene&amp;#039;s refusal,&amp;quot; an insider said. &amp;quot;The six remaining acts were supposed to perform &amp;#039;Last Friday Night&amp;#039; but Jahmene has said no. The song is about partying and drinking and Jahmene is teetotal. &amp;quot;He has made it clear from the start that he won&amp;#039;t sing songs about drinking and when he heard this track he was adamant he wouldn&amp;#039;t perform it. &amp;quot;Bosses have respected his wishes and it&amp;#039;s all hands on deck to get a new song ready in time for Sunday.&amp;quot;      Douglas, who has previously spoken of his dislike for clubbing, was said to be noticeably uncomfortable with the alcohol at previous X Factor events. &amp;quot;When all the contestants went out for Rylan Clark&amp;#039;s birthday party he really didn&amp;#039;t like it,&amp;quot; the source added. &amp;quot;Even at Judges&amp;#039; Houses, when he was given a glass of champagne to hold, he refused to even have it in his hand.&amp;quot; Photo gallery - Rylan Clark&amp;#039;s birthday party:  Douglas, who was recently named the new bookies&amp;#039; favourite to win the series, last month discussed what types of music he would refuse to sing on the show. &amp;quot;Anything degrading to women or [with] swearing,&amp;quot; he revealed. &amp;quot;I can&amp;#039;t see what&amp;#039;s around in the charts for children... I think a lot of people are yearning for that soul back.&amp;quot; The X Factor continues at 8pm tomorrow (Saturday, November 17) on ITV1.
