A second double elimination in The X Factor quarter finals saw Holly Tandy and Rai-Elle Williams leave the competition.

It was quite a blow for Sharon Osbourne as both acts were in her Girls group, which left her with no more mentees left in the competition.

Tandy and Williams were also two of the youngest contestants in the competition, both aged 16.

The pair kept a brave face despite the disappointment, with Tandy telling presenter Dermot O’Leary in their exit interview that viewers would see them again.

“We're two 16-year-olds and we've done so well so far. You will see us again,” she said.

Williams, added: “You are going to see me again. It isn't the end for me.”

Meanwhile at the other end of the leaderboard were Rak-Su and Grace Davies who once again impressed the judges and the voters at home with original music.

Battling it out in the Prize Fight, Davies performed a track called Hesitate, while Rak-Su sang Mona Lisa.
