Sweet success for X Factor hopeful Honey G

Despite giving a faultless performance of Louisa Johnson's "Tears" to Sharon and guest judge Robbie Williams, the 32-year-old was left heartbroken when the over 25s mentor revealed she had not made it to her final three.

Robbie Williams helped judge Sharon Osbourne chose from the over 25s - resulting in success for Relley C, Saara Aalto and rapper Honey G, who has divided opinion.

Many views expressed anger after controversial contestant Honey G beat her in the singing stakes.

Sharon made a decision to taken a huge risk on the 35-year-old and take her through to the live shows, along with Saara Aalto and Relley C.

"North Weezy" resident Honey G secured herself a spot on the live shows with her performance of Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise. Well, if you were anxious where the quirk factor would be coming from this year, worry no more - Honey G is back.

On Sunday's show, Saara Aalto, 29, from Finland, also got through, after singing Abba's The Winner Takes It All.

Simon Cowell will be mentoring the girls.

Sharon's overs were diverse and showed off awesome vocals but only three could make it through to the live shows.

Meanwhile, Relley C, who was sent home by Nicole Scherzinger just before the live shows on a previous series, says: "To fall again at the final hurdle would be devastating".

Sharon invited the hopefuls to her home in Los Angeles to sing their hearts out in her back garden in front of Robbie Williams.

The honeymoon is well and truly over for The X Factor.

"As the competition progressed I think I showed I wasn't just an Adele copy", Samantha said.

"I thought long and hard about who can take Ivy's place in the competition and I have never received so many calls and texts about an auditionee before".

And Scherzinger told Lawrie that she is "crazy enough to take (a) risk and take him through". "But that doesn't mean you're not going to get there".
