Bootcamp finished off last night on The X Factor and it saw Glasgow native Nicole Caldwell go through to the next stage of the competition. 

However, it wasn't before judge Sharon Osbourne told the 27 year old to "get a grip."

Nicole was honest with the judges before her performance and told them she was having some confidence issues. 

She also revealed off stage that "her weight really held her back" and admitted she lost 5 stone in recent years and that her confidence was still quite low. 

However Sharon pointed to the fact that at the age of 27 she should have more confidence saying "you've got to get a hold of yourself" and told her "missus get a grip."

Viewers have lashed out at Mrs O on Twitter slamming the judge:

Telling someone with anxiety to ‘get a grip’ is as ignorant as it gets.
