Andrew Lloyd Webber has claimed that he is confused by the lack of votes from the public for Keisha Amponsa-Banson on I'd Do Anything.
The show's head judge said he felt Keisha was one of the stronger performances on the night and that he was unsure why she ended up placed in the bottom two.
He said they would try to alter the public's opinion with a great song next week, but added that he could only continue supporting the contestant for a limited amount of time.
