James Corden Slams The X Factor Flash Vote

James Corden has taken a pop at the new voting system on Gary Barlow.

"I was Barlow, the fat one who wrote the songs," he explained.

And Corden admitted being inspired by GB to get in shape for middle age.

He explained: "Well Barlow is the prime example of a man who's peaked when he's 40, is he not?

"And that's the trick - no one gets better with age, unless you start fat. That's the trick – if you're gonna go fat, go fat early. Kids, grab a bag of Quavers and go 'it's alright, I'm gonna be at my worst at 20', and by the time you're 40 people are like 'oh he's kinda hot'."

He also admitted having a boy crush on footballer David Beckham.

"Beckham’s in a different league of someone who's always been the most beautiful man in whatever room he steps into."

The Flash Vote sees one of the two acts for the sing-off named at the end of the Saturday night show.

X factor favourite Tamera Foster is newly single.
