Pulling the punches: Abbey Johnstone left, and Lisa Parker come to blows on tonight's X FactorTemper tantrums are nothing new on The X Factor but last night's show takes things to a whole new level when two contestants come to blows on stage.
Horrified Viewers saw aspiring singers Abbey Johnston and Lisa Parker, aka Ablisa, storm off to a chorus of boos before they even get as far as singing.
But after a poor performance of Shayne Ward's That's My Goal and managing to insult some of the judging panel, things turned sour when Abbey hit her friend across the face.
Fight night: Abbey hits out at Lisa after she made comments about Abbey having a crush on judge Louis Walsh
Outburst: Abbey claimed she hit her friend because she'd embarrassed them bothAbbey claimed she was angry with Lisa after her rude response to some gentle criticism from guest judge Natalie Imbruglia by demanding: 'Who are you, may I ask?'
Simon Cowell takes the pair to task, telling them they have 'the worst attitude' of any contestants ever and things go from bad to worse as Abbey lashes out at Lisa before leaving the stage.
A show spokesman said producers broke up the 'heated' dispute during auditions filmed at Birmingham's LG Arena in June.
The friends, from Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, also attempted to sing Journey's Don't Stop Believin'.

Excuses: Lisa claimed she wasn't trying to offend Imbruglia, saying 'I didn't know who she is'There are stormy times for one contestant who annoys Cowell when he admits to changing his name for a more rock 'n' roll version.
Scottish-born Storm Lee, or Lee Gardner as he was once known, came all the way from Los Angeles in a bid to make his name.
He started off with a soulful rendition of The Police's Every Breath You Take, but was stopped by Cowell who advised him to sing something else.
But Cowell clearly isn't impressed, telling him: 'I'm not going to call you Storm any more, because I think it's a stupid name. I'm gonna call you Lee.
'This performance is crazy. Just sing the song and sing like you've never sung before.'

There is also an appearance by a French version of Jedward.
Twem, made up of twins Samir and Medhi, travelled all the way from Paris to tackle Lady Gaga's Let's Dance.
