That's just what I was thinking! The producers have probably locked poor old Craig in his room till they know whether he will have to make a sudden exit from the show as well.

Could be another sex scandal about to hit.

Jonny has physically left the house hasn't he.

Skiving git!!!!

Yes it is.

there is 6 now.

There was 8 when she got a free pass.

Thank you

Criag wants to be Adele who has serious throat problems and all of a sudden he has = Craig and Adele are the same person

Awww Poor Craig

I hope he's OK and I hope he performs tonight!

Not that it should matter but Diana was hot favourite to win at that point in time so, realistically, she wouldn't have been voted out regardless of her performing. Craig, on the other hand, is in danger like everyone else at this stage. If he misses this week because of a sore throat (bear in mind Leona, Alexandra, Mary etc all had sore throats at one point or another when they were in the live shows) then he could have potentially dodged a fatal bullet.

Please don't tell me he gets to sit out of the voting as well? I'll be furious if so!

Even if he can't perform, he should still be put up for the vote. If the public want to save him on the basis of his past performances than they can do so. No free rides.

If she drops to 3rd Marcus is scheduled to be kidnapped by aliens and if she's 4th Misha is running away to become a missionary worker in Kenya

Told Craig will sing tonight despite throat problems. #xfactor

That is what they do in So You think you can dance US. Which is the fairest way for everyone.

Poor us!

Maybe he's gone on the run!

There's a certain movie tie-in joke to be made here, but I'm far too polite to make it.

(Hint - The movie in question starred Simon Pegg. )

I was just gonna say, he could have this week off and then return next week.

He's popular enough to get away with it.

Oh no, I'll have to resort to watching his old performances on youtube to nod off tonight.
