'X Factor': 2011 Contestant Jade Richards Gets A Second Chance

X FACTOR: Remember Jade? Contestant Wows Judges Second Time Around

Jade Richards, the Scottish singer who was controversially sent home at the Judges' Houses stage of X Factor 2011, returns to the ITV singing contest's stage this Saturday.

Richards is said to stun the judges when she appears at the Glasgow auditions with a new gothic look.

After her performance on this week's show, guest judge Anastacia tells her: "I have hairs on my body that are standing up that I didn't know existed."

In 2011 Richards sung Adele's Someone Like You and Louis Walsh was reduced to tears, while Gary Barlow claimed that her performance would "change her life".

However, Kelly Rowland axed Richards from the competition, choosing Sophie Habibis, Amelia Lily, Janet Devlin and Misha Bryan to go through to the live shows instead.
