Austin Drage's dream of winning The X Factor is over

He loses to Rachel Hylton in the sing-off

Austin Drage has been sent home

Austin Drage was booted off The X Factor last night in the 4th live show.

The former boy band member sang the Rose Royce hit Wishing On A Star (written by Billie Rae Calvin) in Disco Music Week but Louis Walsh felt his didn't connect with the public and lacked 'likeability'.

Dannii Minogue said that he needed to show he was enjoying himself more and Cheryl Cole advised Austin to display more emotion.

The public weren't overwhelmed with his performance either and Austin ended up in the bottom 2 with gutsy mum-of-5 Rachel Hylton.

In the sing-off, the 21-year-old sang Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow by Gerry Goffin and Carole King to fight for his place but it wasn't enough.

Simon Cowell voted to keep him in the competition but Cheryl and Dannii were more impressed by Rachel, leaving the final decision to Louis.

He decided 'raw talent' Rachel deserved a 2nd chance.
