Talia Dean has left ‘The X Factor’.
The 32-year-old contestant – who rejoined the show as a wildcard – was kicked out of the competition after she received the least amount of votes from the public.
Speaking after her exit, Talia said: "I just think that they’re all amazing so there’s no way I’m going to compete with that. I’ve had an amazing time; I cannot be sad at all. It has been a ride."
Nicole Scherzinger looked shocked as she waited for either Talia or Tracy Leanne Jefford’s name to be called as the Overs and the Groups battled it out.
And Rak Su won the public vote on Sunday night (29.10.17), meaning they had a chance to battle Grace Davies to win the money-can’t-buy prize of seeing Pink in action at Madison Square Garden in New York City and getting a chance to meet her backstage.
A public vote crowned Grace as the winner and she couldn’t smile anymore if she tried as she was told she had bagged the prize.
She shared: "That is just the best. I think the most heartwarming thing for me is that the public want original songs and that to us [is amazing]."
Meanwhile, Alesha Dixon stood in for Simon Cowell as he missed the second live show on doctor’s orders after he fell down the stairs on Friday (27.10.17).
Speaking at the beginning of the show, host Dermot O’Leary said: "Simon is still not well enough to be here, but fear not in his stead we’ve bought in a hugely talented superstar, Alesha Dixon."
Whilst she added: "Simon and I have the same birthday but we’re very, very different. I’m honest but need to be here for the groups. Simon, I genuinely hope you’re OK, and wish you well."
The ‘X Factor’ returns next Saturday (04.11.17).
