Hounslow mum and X Factor hopeful Talia Dean has made it through to the live shows.

After missing out on a spot on Nicole Scherzinger's Overs category, her fate was left in the hands of the public with the wildcard vote.

One dumped act from each category has been chosen by the public to come back and perform on the live shows.

Voting closed on Monday (October 23) and according to The Mirror , the mum-of-one - along with Leon Mallet, Alisah Bonaobra and Jack and Joel - is returning to the show.

A source reportedly told the newspaper: "After voting closed on Monday, Leon, ­Alisah, Jack and Joel and Talia were told they’d nabbed the four remaining spots.

The source added: "They’ve all been favourites throughout the season, and as we’ve seen in years previously, could well go on to be the show’s most ­memorable acts.

"They’re all beyond excited and are working tirelessly to prove viewers got it right and that they are worthy of a spot."
