Scottish Dj Calvin Harris was booted off British talent show The X Factor on Saturday night (14Nov09) after storming the stage during one of the performances.

The Ready for the Weekend hitmaker was sitting in the audience during the live broadcast, but was ejected by studio security after the prank, which saw him jump in front of contestants John and Edward Grimes as they belted out Queen's Under Pressure.

The cheeky Scot, who was holding a pineapple on his head, slapped his bottom in front of the camera and then ran away.

A show spokesperson said Calvin Harris ran onto the stage during Johnand Edward's performance

Harris was due to appear on a panel to discuss the acts later in the show, but his place was taken by TV presenter Nick Grimshaw.

He confirmed his naughty antics in a post on his Twitter.com page, writing "Was just thrown out of X Factor for jumping onstage during Jedward (John and Edward) with a pineapple on my head".

A show spokesperson said "Calvin Harris ran onto the stage during Johnand Edward's performance. This resulted in him being escorted from the studio by security and ejected.

"Apparently Calvin is a huge John and Edward fan but it's unacceptable to storm the stage whilst an act is performing".
