Treyc Cohen made a shock exit from the X Factor in tonight's results show.
The 26-year-old found herself in the bottom two along with Katie Waissel after her rendition of Aerosmith's Don't Want To Miss A Thing failed to impress viewers.
Treyc gave a moving version of Toni Braxton's Unbreak My Heart in the sing-off after being told by Simon Cowell she lacked the "killer instinct" in last night's live show.
Cowell voted to send home Treyc, saying she was the better singer, but adding: "I'm going to base this on what, as a viewer, who I would like to see next week."
Treyc's mentor Cheryl Cole refused to choose between her acts while Dannii voted to send Katie home and Louis picked Treyc to go.
Tesco checkout worker Mary Byrne escaped the chop despite being named as one of the favourites to leave the competition.
The 50-year-old told the judges she had not been "in the zone" after feeling lonely and missing her daughter.
