Eliminated X Factor contestant Relley C has said she has no regrets about returning to the show for a second try at the big time.
The Birmingham singer lost out to girl group Four of Diamonds in the sing-off on Sunday night's results show.
Judges Louis Walsh - who mentors Four of Diamonds in the 'Groups' section of the show - Nicole Scherzinger and Simon Cowell all voted to save the quartet. Sharon Osbourne, who mentored Relley C, had voted to save her.
Relley C had previously made it to the judges' houses stage of the competition in 2013.
"There was a time when I was like, 'You know what? I might just give up on music altogether', and I'm so glad I didn't because it brought me here," she said.
The 26-year-old said her goal had been to make it to the first live show this year, and when she did, she wanted to remain on screens for as long as possible.
"But I'm just happy that I experienced it," she said.
