'I'm the best mum ever' insists Cocaine Chloe as she's FINALLY kicked off The X Factor

Taking a backseat with safety: X Factor failure Chole Mafia pictured leaving This Morning's studios with daughter Destiny sat on her lap not wearing a seatbelt


Failed X Factor contestant Chloe Mafia burst into tears on This Morning today as she insisted she was a 'good mother'.

The 19-year-old was seen losing her place on the talent show yesterday, the same day she was exposed for allegeldy taking cocaine before charging £450 for a two hours of sex.
Speaking to Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby today, the single mother admitted she had been ‘stupid’ to mess up her chance on the X Factor, but insisted she was a good mother to 21-month-old Destiny.

She insisted: 'I am the best mum ever. I make sure she eats five fruit and veg every day, sometimes more. My daughter is the most best (sic) looked after person in the world.'

Despite her claims to parenthood proficiency, however, Mafia was pictured after the show being driven off in a car with her daughter sat on her lap rather than in a child seat.

Destiny wasn't wearing a seatbelt and Chloe barely had a grip on her daughter as she chatted on her mobile phone.

But she later admitted in the 10-minute interview: 'I don't want my daughter to be like me... Sometimes I think I ain't (sic) got a brain to be honest. I'm so, so stupid.'

And when quizzed by Holly about whether or not she was a call girl, Heald insisted: 'I'm definitely not a prostitute. I have never taken money for sex, that’s not what I do.

'What I do is called paid to party, where you get paid to go out with a group of people do dancing, do different things, you do not sleep with anyone for money, that’s not the situation.'

And when quizzed by Holly about whether or not she was a call girl, Heald insisted: 'I'm definitely not a prostitute. I have never taken money for sex, that’s not what I do.

'What I do is called paid to party, where you get paid to go out with a group of people do dancing, do different things, you do not sleep with anyone for money, that’s not the situation.'

However, when Holly pointed out that Mafia - real name Heald - had actually slept with one of her clients, Chloe said: 'I wasn’t actually getting paid for that, that was totally separate.

'The guy was really fanciable and then after that I met up with him a couple of times and I still talk to him all the time now.'


However, Miss Heald failed to make it through to the live stage where 12 competitors battle it out to win this year’s series. Yesterday Cowell also revealed that clichéd ideas of X Factor contestants going on a ‘journey’ or having a ‘sob story’ were banned from this year’s programme.

He said: ‘What we are trying to avoid is 17-year-olds coming up with pathetic sob stories and singing songs that are too old for them in the hope they are going to be popular.

‘I don’t want this to be a popularity competition, I think it is important that it remains a talent competition.

‘I am just trying to encourage them this year to be their age and do what they like to do if they has a career as a pop star and for everyone to be a bit more relaxed about it.’

But he said he would not rule out including ‘genuinely interesting’ stories in the show.

The X Factor continues to be a massive ratings success, with more than 12.7million watching on Saturday night.

Neighbours' fears as the X Factor take over £3.5m mansion in quiet cul-de-saq

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2YP0kf2oIkendofvid

[starttext]
By SARA NATHAN and SIMON CABLE

Girl next door? Cher Lloyd is one of the favourites to reach the final 12


It is an exclusive cul-de-saq filled with millionaires who value their peace and privacy.

So it would come as no surprise that the inhabitants of a North London close are less than happy after discovering their new neighbours are the rowdy X Factor finalists.

The 12 finalists – whose identities are being kept a closely-guarded secret by ITV bosses – have already moved into the sprawling £3.5 million mansion ahead of the first live show on October 9.

But now the property is swarming with production workers and camera crew, with a procession of cars and taxis streaming in and out all day long.

And residents now fear their tranquil neighbourhood will be transformed by the arrival of fans desperate to catch a glimpse of the contestants on the hit talent show.

X Factor producers have hired two security guards to watch over the property and the cul-de-sac. However, like many other upmarket roads in London, the neighbours may even call in their own private security presence.

One source told the Daily Mail: ‘The residents are upset as there is already some disruption with camera crews coming and going – and the live shows have not even started yet.

‘This is a very exclusive and private road and people are worried that fans will swarm the close once they find out the finalists are here.

‘They are really worried after last year when the X Factor moved in next to the Chinese Ambassador and hundreds of fans turned up and caused chaos.’


Splendour in the grass: The North London villa the X Factor contestants will call home for the coming months


Room with a view: The kitchen and large balcony


One resident, who did not want to be named, said yesterday: 'People around here won't stand for that, I can tell you. We’re not that impressed that the X Factor is on our doorstep.'

This year’s X Factor contestants have already proved themselves to be a nuisance after going on a drunken rampage at their hotel during the boot camp auditions and stripping naked in front of horrified guests.

Simon Cowell was then left appalled after hopefuls ruined his luxury rented villa in Marbella in Spain last month. They caused thousands of pounds worth of damage to the property – which cost £15,000-a-day to rent - as well as drinking the star’s vintage champagne and imported beer.


Welcome home: The entrance hall and staircase


Splashing out: The luxurious bathroom


And last year, there were complaints after hundreds of screaming fans congregated outside the X Factor house in Golders Green, north London, not so helpfully situated next to the Chinese ambassador.

Ambassador Madam Fu Ying was subjected to teenage girls flashing their breasts at stars John and Edward Grimes – otherwise known as Jedward. While fans created litter and scrawled graffiti on to the gates of the property.

Her Excellency Madam Ying confirmed that colleagues had been unhappy about noise coming from the X Factor house next-door to the official residence, but she later claimed: ‘It was fun finding myself caught up in X Factor fever and reading about the 'diplomatic row' involving my embassy.



Welcome to my humble abode: The over 28s group was shown arriving at Simon Cowell's luxury rented villa in Marbella in Spain on Sunday night. The group caused thousands of pounds worth of damage to the property during their stay


Here come the girls: Cheryl Cole mentored her group in Los Angeles


This year’s X Factor home is a seven-bedroom villa that costs £2,500 a week to rent and is surrounded by open countryside. It boasts an entrance hall with a gallery as well as a roof terrace with views over London – and has private gates.

The property, which is owned by millionaire businessman Stephen Goldberg, had been on the market for £3.5 million until he recently decided to rent it out.

A string of Premiership footballers have already viewed the property, which is situated next to a string of imposing mansion houses.


Jet setters: The boys flew to Australia to meet with Dannii Minogue


Luck of the Irish: Louis Walsh is mentoring the over 28s category


Even though the finalists have moved in they are being kept under lock and key.
Viewers will not find out who has made it through to the live shows until this weekend when judges Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue will be seen making their picks.

It will be the first time that fans see the return of Mrs Cole, who was forced to bow out of auditions are contracting malaria, and Miss Minogue, who went on maternity leave after the birth of her son Ethan.

An X Factor spokesperson said last night: ‘We have security staff at the property 24-hours a day who also patrol the private road leading up to the house and remove anyone without permission to be there. The residents have a contact on production they can call at all times.’

X Factor 2010: It's tears, tears and more tears as Cher, Katie and Gamu go through to judges' houses

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZMmetXG800endofvid

[starttext]

You're through! Cher Lloyd finds out she will be going through to judges' houses


It was an emotional episode of The X Factor tonight as the judges decided who they would be taking through as the final 32 acts on the show.

There were tears, tears and more tears as the hopefuls waited to find out if they had what it takes to go through to the final stage, or if they would be going home.

And while favourites Gamu Nhengu, Cher Lloyd, Katie Waissel, Aiden Grimshaw, Matt Cardle and Mary Byrne were all chosen to progress, it seemed as though it was the end of the road for favourite boys Liam Payne and Harry Style.


Shock: Gamu Nhengu and Katie Waissel couldn't hide their surprise as they were put through


However, Simon Cowell had a trick up his sleeve.

First up on the second boot camp episode was Madonna wannabe Katie, who sang Adele's Make You Feel My Love.

Before taking to the stage, Katie said: 'I love my job but it has always been such a huge goal of mine to be a star. Today I'm feeling super charged. It's terrifying but it's incredible.'


Here come the boys: Matt Cardle (left) and Carl Brown learn they are through


Us, really? Princes And Rogues are just one of the eight groups going through


And while Louis questioned whether the hairdresser receptionist was trying too hard, Nicole was impressed with her performance, adding: 'Everything is right there'.

Diva Fever were second up on the stage, performing a lively rendition of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance.

Duo Joseph and Craig had put face paint on to make themselves stand out from the crowd, but their performance received mixed reviews from the judges.



Tears: Annastasia Baker (left) and Rebecca Ferguson couldn't stop crying when they found out they had been successful


And they also faced competition from another X Factor favourite duo in the form of Twem, who said before going on stage: 'We love music, we are crazy about music. Every minute we sing.'

Twins Samir and Medhi - who have been nicknamed the Parisian Jedward - convinced Louis they have what it takes to go all the way, but left Simon entirely unconvinced.

Aiden Grimshaw, another of the early favourites on the programme, was helped by creative director Brian Friedman before his performance, who told him that he needed to relate more to the audience.


No luck: Liam Payne looked heartbroken when he thought he wasn't going through


But maybe... But then he found out he would make up one fifth of a newly-formed group


Before taking to the stage to perform David Grey's This Year's Love, Aiden said: 'I love the song I'm singing so I just want to go out there and sing it and enjoy it.

'I find it hard not to get sucked into it myself as I perform it.'

And following the performance, Nicole agreed with Brian that Aiden maybe was a bit too immersed in his song, explaining: 'I respect that he goes to that place and we go there with him. But it would be nice to sometimes see his eyes.'


Giving it her all: Katie sung Adele's Make You Feel My Love for the judges


Dream: Annastasia said being a singer was her lifelong dream


Girl group Husstle showcased their vocal and dancing talents with an energetic rendition of Walk This Way.

Before going on, the girls said: 'It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to be here. We've worked so hard and I feel we've got what it takes.'

Single mother Rebecca Ferguson, who struggled with her nerves during her first audition, hoped to wow the judges with her performance, and told the panel exactly why she thought she should be going through to the next stage of the competition.

She said: 'I think I should could continue on in the competition because I'm determiend and I think I would blossom on a show like this.'



Through: Quiet student Aiden Grimshaw made it through to the next round


And you: As did unusual singer Wagner Fiuza-Carrilho


Following the performance, Louis said: 'She's blossomed and she has changed', while Simon added: 'That is a recording voice'.

Italian Nicolo Festa, who moved to England from his home country just so he could compete on X Factor, pushed the boat out with his performance of David Bowie's Life On Mars, and dismissed rumours of his diva-like behaviour.

He said: 'This is like pure pressure. I'm not a demanding person, I don't know why everyone is stressing out about the diva thing because I'm just a normal person... kind of!'


The new SuBo: Not being able to dance didn't affect Mary, who is through


Double trouble: Twins Twen are also through to judges' houses


And his determination paid off, with Louis acknowledging his rock star status, and Simon adding: 'I kind of like the fact that he's a bit out there.'

Mary Byrne, a 50-year-old checkout worker who works in Tesco, was up next, but admitted she was worried about the effect her sore throat may have had on her performance.

She said: 'I've waited a long time to be given an opportunity like this. I had a sore throat last week and that's making it crackly.'


Trying to be confident: Single mother Rebecca Ferguson gave it her all



Impressive: As did Raquel Thomas, who had impressed the judges with her talent
But there was very little evidence of any 'crackling' and Mary, once again, impressed the judges with her performance.


Up next was Gamu Nhengu, who was quickly labelled a favourite following her first audition when she sang Walking On Sunshine.

Before taking to the stage, Gamu said: 'I've wanted to be a singetr since I was 10. It's the thing that I'm good at and it's the thing that I love. I'm doing it for me but if I could do something and support my mum, that would be amazing.'


Disappointment: Dermot O'Leary comforts one hopeful who didn't make it


New group: Rebecca Creighton (left) and Sophia Wardman are part of the newly-formed girl group


And her performance of Adele's Make You Feel My Love was so powerful that Louis was reduced to tears, while Nicole struggled to contain her emotions.

Talking to Dermot after coming off stage, Gamu said: 'I worked my little butt off on that stage but if they say no at least I'll know I gave it everything.'

Then came the judges' decision time, when they had to choose 24 acts out of 108 to go through to the judges' houses stage of the competition.

And all the contestants knew the pressure was on, with Gamu admitting: 'I've never seen so many good singers ever, and it's anybody's game.'


Waiting to hear their fate: All the hopefuls gather on the stage at Wembley Arena


Anxious: They couldn't hide their nerves as they waited for the judges' decision


First of all, the judges decided to cut anybody who was 'boring' from the competition before sorting out the rest of the hopefuls.

The judges also decided to move the age limit of the over-25s category after Nicole insisted there were a few potential hopefuls who should be included in the boys or girls categories rather than the over-25s.

All the hopefuls were then called to the stage, where they waited anxiously to hear the news.


United front: The newly-formed boy band take to the stage, delighted with their new formation


Girl power: And the newly-formed girl group also seem delighted with their second chance


When Simon told them the judges had raised the age limit from 25 to 28, adding: 'I think it's going to strengthen the competition.'

He then told them that they would be sending through eight acts to judges' houses instead of the usual six.


Each category then took to the stage to find out their fate.

The girls up were first, with Nicole saying the first girl through was Katie. Other contestants put through included Cher, Annastasia and Rebecca Ferguson.

But those who didn't make the cut included Chloe Victoria and Jo Beetlestone.
Stephen Hunter and Mary Byrne were among those put through for the over-28s category as well as Yuli Miguel and Storm Lee.

However, as their choices became more difficult, Nicole started to find things harder than ever, and told Simon and Louis: 'I know you guys aren't going to have me back because I'm a fricking mess - I suck at this!'

Next up were the groups, and eagle-eyed viewers might have noticed that there were only six groups that got put through. However, Simon explained this later.
Twem, The Reason, Princes And Rogues and Diva Fever all made it through to the judges' houses round.

And lastly were the boys, who were told that, among others, Aiden Grimshaw, Marlon McKenzie and Matt Cardle were through.

But it seemed as though it was the end of the road for other boys such as Liam Payne, Zain Malik, Niall Horan and Harry Styles, as well as girls Rebecca Creighton and Sophie Wardman.

It was time for Simon to reveal he had another trick up his sleeve, as nine of those hopefuls previously rejected were called back to the stage and told they would be given another chance - as newly-formed groups.

The judges were then told which acts they would be mentoring this year, with Dannii being told first that she would be in charge of the boys.

On the phone from her home in Australia, Dannii said: 'The boys, that's good. I'm very happy, I'm very happy with that!'

Cheryl was given arguably the most sought-after group when she was allocated the girls.


Which of them will make it? Some of the over-28s, including Mary Byrne and Stephen Hunter, relax during next weekend's judges' houses stage


Ab-tastic: Husstle show off their trim figures as they perform for Simon during judges' houses


In a property in Los Angeles, Cheryl exclaimed: 'Oh my God! I am so happy. Yes yes yes! I'm feeling slightly on the smug side. I'm going for a hat trick.'

Then it was Louis' turn, who couldn't hide his disappointment when he was given the over-28s.

He said: 'Oh god! The over-28's and me. The other judges are going to be smug and confident. I have to believe in these people and I am going to work very hard.'


Does she have the X Factor? Gamu gives it her all as she performs for Cheryl in judges' houses



Unique: What original song will Cher choose to sing for Cheryl?


Simon was last to find out his group, and couldn't believe it when he was told he would be looking after the groups.

Talking to the producer, he said: 'Thank you for repaying all of my hard work on the show this year. I can't believe it. Two words - stitch up!'

The final 32 acts will now be going through to the judges' houses category next weekend, when they will be cut to just 12 acts to go through to the live stages.

The X Factor is on next Saturday at 7.05pm and next Sunday at 7.45pm.

Is this the end of the road for X Factor favourite Mary Byrne? The 'new SuBo' struggles with complex dance routine at boot camp

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSILCZ2ULwgendofvid

[starttext]

By SARAH BULL

Struggling: Mary Byrne couldn't keep up with the complex dance routine in the boot camp stage of X Factor


She was named the 'new SuBo' when she first auditioned and quickly became one of the favourites to win The X Factor.

But 50-year-old Tesco checkout worker Mary Byrne might have fallen at the first hurdle after struggling with a complex dance routine on the first boot camp episode of the show.

As she started to learn the dance routine, choreographed by creative director Brian Friedman, Mary started to lose confidence in her ability to perform the routine.


In pain: Mary complained that the arthritis in her knees was causing her immense pain


And it wasn't only her lack of confidence that caused her to doubt herself before she went on stage, as her arthritis in her knees was also giving her some trouble.

Mary said at the beginning of learning the routine: 'I had forgotten how amazing it is to do exercise - how electrifying it makes you feel inside.'

But then the repetitive dance moves started to get a bit too much for Mary, who suffers from arthitis in her knees.


Giving it her best shot: Despite being in pain, Mary took to the stage for the routine


Oops! But she promptly forgot the steps and made up her own moves instead


She said: 'My knees are starting to swell, my legs are seizing on me and the weight doesn't help. I'm not looking for excuses and I feel like I'm letting myself down.

'I want to try and dance for the judges. I refuse to be beaten by arthitis - I really am going to give it a try.'

And while she struggled to remember the dance steps as soon as she got on the stage, Mary just gave it her all with her own unique moves.


Controversial: Chloe Victoria forgot her words as she performed Wishing On A Star


Did she do enough? Chloe divided the judges with her performance


Afterwards, Brian said: 'Mary didn't give up and I love that. You need that drive and ambition.'

At the beginning of tonight's first boot camp episode, the 211 remaining acts made their way to Wembley Arena where they were put into their categories and allocated a song to sing.

While the girls were given Beyonce's If I Were A Boy, the boys regaled the judges with Michael Jackson's Man In The Mirror and the groups tried their luck at Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now.


Unique take: Cher Lloyd sang Coldplay's Viva La Vida in her own unique way


Rapper: She also included a rap which she had written herself


But it was the over-25s who were given the most unusual song when they were told they would all have to sing Lady Gaga's Poker Face. And while favourite Mary Byrne managed to bring her own take to the now infamous track, other more elderly people struggled to conquer some of the more complex melodies.

Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh, who began boot camp as a pair before the arrival of Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger, were more serious than ever, with Simon reminding the acts before they took to the stage: 'By the end of the day half of you are going home.

'Today you're going to be put into your categories and you're going to sing one song. There are literally no second chances today.'


Second time lucky: Liam Payne, who got through to judges' houses two years ago, is hoping to make it further this time


Nervous: Despite forgetting his words before he went on stage, Liam managed to get through his rendition of Oasis's Stop Crying Your Heart Out


On his way to Wembley, Louis said: 'Bootcamp is tough - that's what it's all about. To survive in showbusiness you've got to be tough. You've got to go out there and deliver.'

And while many of the contestants sailed through the first stage of boot camp, others struggled with the pressure.

Cher Lloyd, 16, looked nervous and apprehensive before she performed her song, telling host Dermot O'Leary: 'I'm nervous about singing the same song as everyone else. The competition is heating up.'


Fun and sparkle: House husband Stephen Hunter went down well


Casual style: Marlon Mackenzie performed a Corinne Bailey Rae track


And Madonna wannabe Katie Waissel added: 'It's quite daunting when you've got these girls who are Beyoncing it out.'

But the pressure to stand out in the crowd was just too much for Tobias Sumpton, who forgot the words to the song and was cut from the competition in the first cull of contestants.

After coming off stage and sobbing, Tobias told Dermot: 'I had been practising all day but I just couldn't do it.'


What a surprise: The judges were stunned by Matt Cardle's performance of The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face


No belief: But Simon said the painter decorator has no self confidence


And when he found out he wouldn't be progressing to the next round, he admitted: 'I'm gutted, I'm absolutely gutted.

However, nerves didn't get the better of Cher, Katie or favourite Gamu, who all impressed Simon and Louis with their performances and were put straight through.

Someone else who was chosen to progress to the next stage was X Factor escort Chloe Victoria, aka 'Chloe Mafia', who arrived at boot camp hungover and stinking of vodka.


All or nothing: Yuli Minguel gave an energetic performance on stage


Dancing along: And the judges, including Nicole Scherzinger, loved the song


And before she sang, Chloe told the judges: 'I'm so nervous - I need a wee!'
But that wasn't enough to put her off her stride, and her unique take of If I Were A Boy helped her get through to Day 2.

The second day of boot camp saw contestants greeted by Simon and Louis who told them that, in an X Factor first, they would be taught to dance by Freidman.

Wearing a low-cut khaki hoodie top, Brian told contestants: 'I don't want you to be scared. What we are going to work on is your stage presence and choreography.'

Simon added to the camera: 'This is something we have never done before, and I've no idea if it's the right thing to do or not.'

And while some of the hopefuls, including Girl group Husstle, were thrilled to be given the opportunity to show off their dancing talents, various other contestants found it more difficult than they first thought.

House husband Stephen Hunter, who was one of the first contestants to be put through at his audition, laughed: 'I have never danced in my life but it's amazing, I love it!! And I know I'm going to lose two and a half stone in a week!'


Through: Favourite Gamu will perform her solo track tomorrow night


Nice hat! Katie Waissel got through to Day 2, but can she go all the way?


Mary wasn't the only one who found the dance task daunting, as teenage student Zain Malik first refused to go on because he was too scared about performing the routine in front of the judges.

But then Simon decided to go backstage and speak to Zain to give him a boost and encourage him to take to the stage.

Simon said: 'Why aren't you out there? You can't just bottle it. Zain, you are ruining this for yourself. I'm trying to help you here. Don't do that again.'

Zain said: 'Simon came backstage and spoke to me and I thought I might as well give it a go.'

So, with some strong words from Simon, Zain decided to perform, and while his routine was deemed 'uncomfortable', it didn't go too badly.

On day three of boot camp, each contestant was told to choose a track from a list of 40 songs to perform solo in front of the judges, who were joined by Nicole Scherzinger on the final day of the boot camp stage.


Harmonising: Boyband F.Y.D impressed the judges with their harmonising


Splitting the judges: Storm Lee performed James Bond track Live And Let Die


Nicole told the contestants: 'This is where we separate the boys from the men and the pussycat from the dolls. Have fun and kick some butt!'

Teenager Cher was the first act to perform for the judges, singing her own take of Coldplay's Viva La Vida which included a rap which she wrote herself.

She said: 'I've put a lot of thought into this song but I decided to put my own take on it and write a little rap and I wrote my own lyrics to the rap.

'I'm a bit frightened that they don't understand what I'm about. I've just got to do my best.'

As she came off stage, Cher told Dermot, 'I didn't know I wanted it this much!' while Nicole told Simon and Louis: 'I like that she's original and unique and made it her own.'

Chloe Victoria decided to sing Wishing On A Star, but admitted she wasn't as prepared for the performance as she would have liked to be.

She told the judges ahead of the performance: 'I just want to show everyone that I can be what I want to be and I can make a better life for my daughter.'

But her lack of preparation started to show as soon as she started singing, and Chloe quickly forgot the words, before grinding to a halt.


Showing some moves: Girl group Husstle were delighted with the dance task


Impressed: Simon and Louis were impressed with Husstle's routine


Coming off stage, Chloe said: 'I could slap myself silly, I'm really really angry with myself.'

However, Simon said he was still unsure what to make of Chloe, admitting that he felt sorry for her following the performance.

Tom Richards was another contestant who divided the judges.

After his first audition, when Simon accused him of looking like he should be in a boyband, Tom tried to reinvent himself and performed James Bond track Live And Let Die for the panel.

But his performance didn't go down too well, with Nicole saying: 'I think he looks like he should be in a boyband!'

Liam Payne was one of the next contestants on stage, and decided to perform Oasis's Stop Crying Your Heart Out.


No confidence: Student Zain Malik refused to go on stage to dance


Stern: But he soon changed his mind when faced with Simon telling him off


After getting through to the judges' houses stage of X Factor two years ago, Liam was determined to get through to the next stage, saying: 'I want to show Simon that I mean business and that I have what it takes. This is the moment I've been waiting for.'

But while Louis and Nicole were impressed by his emotional performance, Simon wasn't so sure, adding: 'I like him but I think it was a little bit one-dimensional.'

Painter and decorator Matt Cardle was the last person to perform in tonight's programme, singing The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.

And while he acknowledged that choosing the track, originally sung by a woman, was a risk, he explained: 'I've taken a bit of a risk with the song I've chosen, it's a girls song and I think I'm the only guy in boot camp to sing this song.

'I think it's right to take a risk at this stage.'

Following his performance, Louis remarked: 'He's the biggest surprise for me so far.'
Simon added: 'Do you know why we hadn't noticed him before? He's got no confidence or self belief at all.'

The judges will decide who will be going through to the judges' houses stage of the competition tomorrow night when the remaining contestants will perform their tracks.
The X Factor is on ITV1 on Sunday night at 7.45pm.
