X Factor – Four acts rejected by judges have a chance to rejoin

Following Frankie Cocozza's departure from The X Factor, the four acts who were dropped by their mentors in the first live show - James Michael, Amelia Lily, 2 Shoes and Jonjo Kerr – are being given the chance to rejoin the show on Saturday.

An X Factor spokeswoman said: "The four acts have never been in a public vote so, with Frankie leaving the competition, this is an opportunity for the public to decide who comes back to the show."

Details of the telephone vote were announced today and the lines will close during Saturday's show.

Without bringing in a replacement for Cocozza on Saturday's show, producers faced the prospect of ending the competition early or having a week without a public vote.
