Could Justin Bieber's popularity in the UK be waning ever so slightly? It certainly looked that way when the Baby hitmaker was booed during the auditions at Wembley Arena in London last Sunday.

And he wasn't even there!

With the second round of auditions well underway, EntertainmentWise went down to check out the try-outs, and it was after a performance from one hopeful that Justin's name came up when returning X Factor judge, Cheryl Fernandez Versini, was offering her constructive criticism.

As Cheryl mentioned JB's name, the 5,000 strong audience booed much to the stunning judge's surprise. But the same couldn't be said for a certain One Direction member. 

When Cheryl went on to reference Harry Styles, the audience reacted by cheering and screaming. 

Ouch!

Biebs is no stranger to getting booed as he got the same treatment when he took his mum to a basketball game for Mothers Day. According to E! Online, JB and his mum, Pattie Mallette, received a negative reception when they went to see the LA Clippers.

A source revaled: "The entire placed booed him when Staples Center cameras put him on the jumbotron."

And if you thought that was bad, the Baby hitmaker was booed at Canada's Juno Awards earlier this year. Whilst he may have won the Juno Fan Choice Award, there didn't appear to be many actual fans at the event, as boos were heard when his name was called for the gong.

The 2013 Billboard awards also saw JB fail to get a chorus of cheers. But ever the professional, Justin ignored the boos and told the audience during his acceptance speech:

"I'm 19 years old… I'm 19 years old. I think I'm doing a pretty good job."
