The group were travelling from Liverpool to their next show in Glasgow tonight when the grisly weather conditions left their tour bus battered. They have since been forced to cancel their show and head to next location, Leeds.
THE X FACTOR tour stars were left terrified on their trip to Glasgow today after a piece of their tour buses ROOF fell off on the motorway.
The group – which includes winners Rak-Su, Grace Davies, Kevin Davy White, The Cutkelvins, Lloyd Macey and Sean and Conor Price – were travelling to their Scottish show when the incident occurred.
A source exclusively revealed to The Sun Online: “Due to the adverse weather conditions, the bus really took a battering in the wind.
“It was pretty scary – they were on the motorway and all of a sudden part of the roof went flying.
“A bunch of the stars and dancers noticed and immediately started screaming at the driver to pull over. It’s now snowing IN the bus.”
“They’re literally in the middle of nowhere at the moment and it’s freezing. Scotland’s on red alert at the moment because the weather is so bad, so this was the last thing they needed."
Grace later tweeted about the scary moment but assured her fans that they were all fine.
She wrote: “ye so it was really windy on the motorway and the roof blew off and we’re cool it’s just a bit cold lol x”
Ashley Fongho of Rak-Su was less pleased with the situation and added: "I spend nearly every second trying to be positive but right now we're stuck somewhere 20 miles away from Oldham on the drive from Scotland to Leeds and I'm starting to lose my sanity.
"How can I make a coach full of people full silence immediately? I need the ability to teleport!"
“3km of traffic in front. The air lock in the coach has blown off on the motorway... coach had a wheel come off the ground.
“If I had the right equipment I’d actually walk through the snow to the nearest nandos.”
The seven acts were due to perform at the SSE Hydro Arena in Glasgow tonight, however the show was forced to be cancelled as Storm Emma left it too dangerous for them to go ahead.
They have all now been redirected to Leeds, where the next show will take place.
Scottish group The Cutkelvins were among the stars who shared the news online – and expressed their devastation that they were no longer able to perform to their home town.
In a joint statement, they wrote: “Whatsuppp gang! So we are absolutely gutted to hear the venue has had to cancel the show tonight due to severe weather conditions.
“We were super excited to perform to our home crowd in Scotland today. However your safety is most important thing! Stay safe everyone – much love to you all.”
