"Eliminated X Factor contestant Jade Ellis has said that Gary Barlow was &amp;quot;very mean&amp;quot; to describe her mentor Tulisa Contostavlos as having &amp;quot;fag ash breath&amp;quot; on live TV.  The mother-of-one, who was voted out last night (October 28) after landing in the bottom two with Union J, stated that Barlow&amp;#039;s comment was not only uncalled for, but untrue.  Asked by Digital Spy if Contostavlos does indeed have &amp;quot;fag ash breath&amp;quot;, Ellis replied: &amp;quot;Not that I&amp;#039;ve ever noticed. She does enjoy a fag, but no. &amp;quot;I think there was no need for the personal remarks, on both sides.&amp;quot; Ellis said that she could see Contostavlos getting revenge on Barlow by winning the show with her &amp;quot;very strong&amp;quot; remaining acts Ella Henderson and Lucy Spraggan, adding: &amp;quot;Hopefully she&amp;#039;ll have the last laugh.&amp;quot;  On reports that Spraggan, who was given a bye this week due to ill health, is threatening to quit the show over performing covers, Ellis said: &amp;quot;Lucy came into the competition knowing that she would be expected to do covers, so I can&amp;#039;t really see her having a problem.  &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s capable of doing them, she does them when she gigs. I&amp;#039;m sure its just the fact that she&amp;#039;s ill, but obviously there will be speculation.&amp;quot; She added: &amp;quot;[Lucy]&amp;#039;s totally gone off the radar, so I&amp;#039;m assuming that she&amp;#039;s so ill she&amp;#039;s in a blanket, wrapped in bed, trying to recover for this weekend.&amp;quot; Ellis also agreed that she may have been sacrificed due to the judges&amp;#039; reluctance to go to Deadlock again, noting: &amp;quot;They have to make a call at some point and be seen to be judging.&amp;quot; Photo gallery - X Factor results show 4:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
