Rapper Honey G has been given a second chance on The X Factor after being invited back on the show.
The 35-year-old wannabe rapper failed to make it through the Six Chair Challenge on Sunday night's show however it was later announced on spin-off show The Xtra Factor that she has been brought back to replace singer Ivy Grace, who has had to pull out of the competition.
Honey, otherwise known as Anna Georgette Guilford, is now heading to the Judges' Houses stage, where she is in Sharon Osbourne's Over-25s category.
Osbourne said she was disappointed to lose Grace, who had to withdraw as she was unable to get the visa required for her to take part in filming in Los Angeles for Judges' Houses.

"I thought long and hard about who can take Ivy's place in the competition and I have never received so many calls and texts about an auditionee before. She's larger than life, she's fun, she's different to everyone else in this competition... and I love different", said Osbourne.
Modest as ever, Honey said she was delighted at the news adding that "I'm not just belting out an amazing voice; I am what is happening right now in the music scene. I'm the whole shebang."
