Everyone expected John and Edward Grimes to get booted off The X Factor tonight but it was raunchy girl band Kandy Rain and Rachel Adedeji who ended up competing to go through.

Before the bottom two acts were annnounced for the sing-off, Dermot O'Leary explained that Louis Walsh was not on the judge's panel due to the sad death of Boyzone's Stephen Gately.

Simon Cowell paid tribute to Stephen, who was a close friend of Louis's.

Rachel, 17 - who Simon admitted he was very surprised to see fighting for her place - performed first and gave an emotional performance but Kandy Rain also sang their hearts out.

The judges' vote was split so the decision was made on which act got the least viewers' votes - Kandy Rain.

The former strippers were devastated.
