Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell have revealed which of their ‘X Factor’ acts have made it through to the live shows. 

The top three Girls and Groups learnt their fate during Saturday (1 October) night’s episode, after being put through their paces at Judges’ Houses. 

Bradley and Ottavio, The Brooks and 5AM were the lucky trio of Groups who won places in the final 12, after singing for Louis and guest judges Fleur East and Alesha Dixon in Ibiza.

This meant that Skarl3t, 4 of Diamonds, Tom and Laura and Yes Lad all missed out on being Louis’ finalists. 

Meanwhile, over in Malibu, Simon was seen auditioning the Girls category alongside guest judges Mel B and Emma Bunton. 

Gifty Louise, Emily Middlemas and Samantha Lavery then emerged as the trio who were through to the final stage of the competition.

As a result, it was bad news for Soheila Clifford, Kayleigh Marie Morgan, Caitlyn Vanbeck and Olivia Garcia, who were all sent home.

Sunday night’s show will see Nicole Scherzinger pick her final three boys, as she’s joined by Calvin Harris in Nice. 

Sharon Osbourne will also reveal her top three Over 25s, as she’s assisted by Robbie Williams at her home in LA. 

‘The X Factor’ continues tomorrow at 7.30pm on ITV.
