Hounslow mum Talia Dean has become the second contestant to leave the X Factor .

The wildcard was eliminated after receiving the lowest number of public votes during the live show on Sunday (October 29).

The wannabe pop star, who was the wildcard in judge Nicole Scherzinger’s Overs category , said she had had a wonderful experience.

She said of her fellow hopefuls: “They are all so amazing, and there is no competing with that!”

That meant there was good news for absent judge Simon Cowell , as all of his groups made it through to the next round of the ITV show.

Cowell missed the programme - his second in a row - as he continues to recover following a fall down the stairs at his Holland Park home on Friday (October 27).

Meanwhile, Rak-Su were named the top rated performers of the night, which meant they had to go head to head with Saturday night’s winner Grace Davies in the new Prize Fight sing-off.

Both performed again and Davies was declared the winner.
