Cheryl whittled her last six acts in the competition down to three during Saturday night’s show, which marked the first time ever that the Judges’ Houses results were chosen live.

She decided to put Alien Uncovered, 4th Impact and Reggie ‘n’ Bollie through, meaning it was the end of the road for BEKLN Mile, Melody Stone and New Kings Order.

Explaining her decision, the former Girls Aloud singer told presenters Olly Murs and Caroline Flack: “We’ve got two totally different girl groups, which I’m so excited about, we’re going to girl power it up. And then we’ve got a group who are going to bring so much excitement and fun.

“There’s only so much you can do with a choir. But honestly, the people who have just left the stage are just as talented as the ones still on stage.”

Alien Uncovered said they were “so grateful” to have been given a spot during live shows, while 4th Impact thanked the ‘X Factor’ UK audience for welcoming them so much, despite them not originally hailing from Britain.

Meanwhile, Reggie ‘n’ Bollie promised: “We’re going to entertain you every weekend, we will bring it on and on and on.”

This year's 'X Factor' live shows kick off on Saturday, 31 October, on ITV.

Worst 'X Factor' Band Names

Despite her inability to spell the word 'Addictiv', Fleur East of Addictiv Ladies later returned to 'The X Factor' nine years later as a solo artist. So, yes, that's why she looks so familiar... (credit:Rex/Ken McKay)
4Tune (Series 3)(02 of10)

Do you get it? Because there are four of them. And they sing tunes. Brilliant. (credit:Rex/Ken McKay)
4Sure (Series 4)(03 of10)

We're guessing a similar thought process went into naming 4Sure to naming 4Tune... (credit:Rex/Ken McKay)
Little Mix (Series 8)(04 of10)

A name derived from the fact that Tulisa used to refer to them as her "little muffins".To us, they'll always just be Rhytmix. Still, the name has hardly held them back so far, has it? (credit:Rex/Ken McKay/Talkback Thames)
Stereo Kicks (Series 11)(05 of10)

This is what happened when you draw two unrelated 'youth-based' terms out of a hat and name your band whatever comes out. Stereo Kicks could just as easily have been called 'Selfie Twerk' or 'Hollyoaks Software Update'. (credit:Thames TV/Syco/Corbis)
Girlband (Series 5)(06 of10)

We wonder how long this imaginative name took to think of. (credit:Rex/Ken McKay/Talkback Thames)
2 To Go (Series 1)(07 of10)

Probably best to not make the name of your group sound like you're ordering at a drive thru, yeah..? (credit:Rex/Ken McKay)
JLS (Series 5)(08 of10)

Not the worst name in the world, until you realise it stands for 'Jack The Lad Swagger'. Good grief. (credit:Rex/Ken McKay)
Belle Amie (Series 7)(09 of10)

A nice enough band name, it's just unfortunate that it's also the name of an Eastern European gay adult film company, isn't it? (credit:Rex/Ken McKay/Talkback Thames)
Overload Generation (Series 11)(10 of10)

Well, at least it's a name they weren't stuck with for long, eh..? (credit:Thames TV/Syco/Corbis)
