Did Dermot piss off Celine Dion on The X Factor?

Is it just us, or does Celine Dion look rather annoyed standing behind Dermot during Saturday's X Factor? For those who missed it (and if you did, what the hell were you doing?!), Dermy was chatting to Celine on the results show just after she'd belted out her new song, and was asking for her thoughts on the contestants' performances earlier in the evening. Celine proceeded to chat about virtually every single act on the show and would clearly have left no time for the actual results if Derm hadn't eventually interrupted her. He proceeded to turn to the camera and thank Dion for her contribution, noting cheekily that "she can talk as well as sing"! And that's when Ms Dion adpoted a rather unimpressed look. Considering the embarrassing sucking-up to Celine that everyone else on the show indulged in, we say go Dermot! That's exactly why we love you. As for the rest of the show, it was pretty compelling stuff, and unlike the outrageous goings-on over on Strictly, at least the right person got the boot. And as for Louis, getting him to sing Build Me Up Buttercup – what WERE you thinking??
