The X Factor booted out Stereo Kicks last weekend and it seems Jake Sims is taking it particularly hard.
We can't tell if he's joking or not in this bizarre but mesmerising Vine, which he posted on the Stereo Kicks Twitter account this morning.
The clip - which we have been unable to stop playing - sees Sims lip-syncing to Leona Lewis's version of 'Run', which Stereo Kicks performed at Boot Camp and on their last weekend in the competition.
Then he breaks down and starts sobbing.
Sims added the simple caption: "thinkin back on old timez rly upset x"
The 20-year-old has had a hard time of it recently, after an old nude selfie emerged along with a picture allegedly showing him after taking ketamine.
"Obviously there's going to be ups and downs and obviously being in the public eye you're going to get press written about you,...

The X Factor star Barclay Beales has stripped off for a new shoot.
The Stereo Kicks member is reclining on a bed in his boxers in a saucy picture for Attitude's Sex Issue.
Beales admitted that he didn't hit the gym in preparation for the shoot and added that he actually had a McDonald's the night before.
"If I could, I'd love my arms to be bigger, but I'm a slacker," he said. "I used to go to the gym before the show, but now there's no time. You don't want to go just the once."
Beales also revealed that his favourite part of his body is his face but admitted he hates his calves, saying: "They're really small. They make me look like I have chicken legs."
Elsewhere, Beales was asked which member of Stereo Kicks is the sexiest and chose Tom Mann.
"He has that old-fashioned sexy look,...

The X Factor eliminees Stereo Kicks have suggested that Cheryl was "harsh" during their sing-off.
Stereo Kicks lost out in Deadlock to Cheryl's act Lauren Platt, but not before Cheryl had criticised Mel B for choosing to save the boys.
The X Factor Stereo Kicks' Casey on womanising rumours: "I love girls"
"I thought it was pretty harsh," Stereo Kicks member Chris Leonard told Digital Spy today. "The way Cheryl put it across was, 'You can't criticise them like that and then say yes to keep them in'.
"Cheryl gave out about people earlier on in the competition, saying that when they were sick you can't use that as an excuse. And then Lauren was a bit under the weather this week, but Cheryl brought it up. You can't say one thing and then do the other, it's not really fair. But it is what it is, it's happened,...

A stage invasion took place during tonight's live X Factor show (November 8).
As Stereo Kicks performed their rendition of Michael Jackson's 'You Are Not Alone', Lee Nelson - the alter-ego of comedian Simon Brodkin - ran onto the stage before being escorted off.
All four judges praised the band for their professionalism during the incident, with Simon Cowell joking that Louis Walsh had added yet another member to the eight-piece group.
Mel B then revealed that Cheryl Fernandez-Versini originally thought the invader was Take That's Mark Owen.
An official spokesperson for The X Factor told Digital Spy: "During Stereo Kicks' performance this evening, there was a brief disturbance on stage, which was immediately dealt with by security. The performance continued as planned."
Nelson ultimately took responsibility for the prank in a series of Twitter messages, writing: "There are so many of them I thought anyone could have a go.

There were fireworks at The X Factor house this week - no, we actually mean actual fireworks. For Bonfire Night.
The remaining contestants were treated to a party at their North London home to mark the occasion - complete with a special fireworks display and piles of tasty treats.
Jack Walton and Lola Saunders - both of whom were eliminated at the weekend - were able to enjoy the bash, although we're not sure how much Jack liked Stereo Kicks' James Graham dressing up as a mummy.
Continuing the spooky theme, Andrea Faustini posed with a skull - though we're not quite sure why - and got into the party spirit by having a drink and a dance with Only The Young's Betsy-Blue English (we don't know why she's wielding a coat hanger).
Also getting into the party spirit were Stereo Kicks, who appeared to be sipping on blue...

The X Factor's new eight-piece boyband are still searching for a name.
The group explain to Dermot O'Leary on tonight's (October 3) episode that they are still going by the name New Boyband.
James Graham, Reece Bibby, Tom Mann, Casey Johnson, Jake Sims, Charlie Jones, Barclay Beales and Chris Leonard also discuss how they are getting along since the group was formed at Boot Camp.
"We've been having so much fun. We've been playing tonnes of football on the beach. Tom is a football coach, but he's so bad," Bibby jokes.
"It just feels so right, it's like one big sleepover," adds Mann.
The eight-piece go on to perform Justin Timberlake's number one single 'Mirrors' for their mentor Louis Walsh and his guest judge Tulisa Contostavlos.
The X Factor continues tonight at 9pm on ITV.

The X Factor is going there - we're getting an eight-piece boyband this year! The lads - who were put together by the judges after unsuccessful solo auditions - blazed through to Louis Walsh's Judges' Houses after their stirring performance of 'Run'... but what are they really like?
We met Reece Bibby, James Graham, Barclay Beales, Tom Mann, Casey Johnson, Jake Sims, Chris Leonard and Charlie Jones this week and tried to get them to settle down long enough to answer ten questions for us...
1. Do you have a proper name yet?
All: "No!"
Charlie: "We've had a few ideas and they've been awful."
Casey: "Chris's favourite is Walking Pavements."
Chris: "I think that's clever."
Barclay: "It's terrible. Terrible."
Casey: "Are you a toddler? What part of that's clever?"
Tom: "Walking is boring and pavements, pavements are so boring."
Chris: "So is Tom!"
[Everyone: Oooh!]
Casey: "To be fair,...

Louis Walsh. Tulisa. And a whole lot of groups. In Bermuda. We can't wait to see what happened at Mr Walsh's Judges' Houses stage, but at least we have these photos to keep us going for now.
Once you've recovered from Louis's shorts, read on for all the photographs you need from this weekend's Bermuda jaunt...
Only The Young
We were not ever this cool.
Here are Only The Young performing. Charlie, Parisa, Mikey and Betsy Blue compare themselves to the Von Trapp family, which is so uncool that it's gone all the way around and become cool again.
Blonde Electric
The outfits suggest that Louis Walsh will put them through instantly.
We don't even know what our favourite fact about Jazzy and Ruby is. That they've lived in 33 countries? That they speak five languages? That they're related to George Osborne? Too much to choose from.
New Boy Band
There are eight of them.

Well, it was something of a tortuous process, to put it mildly, but Louis Walsh has finally managed to name his Top 6 Groups on The X Factor.
But only three of them can make it through to the Live Shows, and we think Louis is probably going to need some help picking. So that's where you come in – let us know who you want to see progress past Judges' Houses!
Here's a quick reminder of the Top 6 groups:
1. The Brooks
The Young Ones
15-year-old twins The Brooks from Cardiff – Kyle and Josh, fact fans – are certainly very sweet. But they've not had an awful lot of screen time, so will that count against them?
2. Blonde Electric
The Divisive Ones
Blonde Electric are very much the Marmite of the Groups this year. Having been described as a female Jedward, it's definitely a love-or-hate situation. Louis nearly sent them home, before realising...
