"The X Factor&amp;#039;s Christopher Maloney has apparently considered quitting the show over backstage rows with producers. The singer has been at the centre of numerous tabloid allegations about his behaviour behind-the-scenes in recent months and it&amp;#039;s alleged that his actions have annoyed the show&amp;#039;s execs.  However, according to The Mirror, Maloney&amp;#039;s latest bust-up with exec producer Mark Sidaway almost led to the Liverpudlian hopeful pulling out of the reality series. Sidaway is accused by the newspaper of calling Maloney&amp;#039;s poor timekeeping &amp;quot;f**king unacceptable&amp;quot; and allegedly had a shouting match with the contestant. A source told the paper: &amp;quot;It hurt Christopher and made him consider if he should carry on. Others are late and nothing is said.&amp;quot; The X Factor continues this weekend with a Guilty Pleasures-themed special.
