It was third time unlucky for X Factor hopeful Rachel Adedeji tonight.
While the public voted ‘nightmare’ twins John and Edward through to the next round, Adedeji received the lowest votes and faced her third sing-off.
Head judge Simon Cowell said she sang much better than Lloyd Daniels, who was suffering from a sore throat.
But Cowell said he could not ignore her lack of popularity with the public and used his vote to create a tie, which meant the decision rested solely on viewers' votes.
Tears rolled down Adedeji's cheeks when she was told she was leaving the show.
‘Thank you to everyone who has supported me,’ she said.
‘It's been amazing and I got to meet so many lovely people and work with great judges.’
She told her mentor Dannii Minogue: ‘You're amazing.’
