"England football captain Rio Ferdinand has ranted on Twitter about Wagner Carrilho&amp;#039;s progression on The X Factor. The Manchester United defender claimed that the Brazilian singer&amp;#039;s success is the reason he can&amp;#039;t take the ITV1 series seriously. Tweeting during last night&amp;#039;s results show, the sports star wrote: &amp;quot;The public needs to get one mahoosive slap for this voting... Wagner... I mean...wtf...nah it&amp;#039;s not right... I can&amp;#039;t...for crying out loud (sic). &amp;quot;Wagner going through sums up why I can&amp;#039;t take X Factor seriously... I just kissed my teeth like my dad used to when he was vexed! &amp;quot;Is this a personality contest or I&amp;#039;m a genuine person comp? No, it&amp;#039;s a can you be a popstar comp so send Wagner home!&amp;quot; During Saturday&amp;#039;s show, Ferdinand said that he is a fan of Matt Cardle and Rebecca Ferguson, describing them as the &amp;quot;real singers&amp;quot; on the show. He also tipped One Direction for success, joking: &amp;quot;These boys are gonna make it regardless of where they finish on the show. The lil chics are flipping out already! Its a wrap!&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
