Kandy Rain voted off The X Factor

Girl group get least viewers' votes after judges reach deadlock

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.

X Factor 2008 winner Alexandra Burke performed single Bad Boys and Robbie Williams also took to the stage to promote his new album, Reality Killed The Video Star.

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.
