Rachel Hylton is off The X Factor

After a sing-off with JLS, the mum-of-five goes home

Rachel Hylton desperately wanted to stay on The X Factor

Rachel Hylton was voted off The X Factor last night.

In Take That week, the 26-year-old sang a gutsy version of Gary Barlow's Rule The World - a song Louis Walsh claimed a tearful Dannii Minogue had 'stolen' from JLS - but still ended up in the bottom two acts with JLS who did their own version of Million Love Songs Later.

After former contestants Same Difference and Rhydian Roberts returned as guests in The X Factor results show, Dermot O'Leary announced who'd be in the sing-off.

JLS performed Stand By Me (mixed with Beautiful Girl) and Rachel chose And I Am Telling You I Am Not Going (from the show Dreamgirls).

Louis and Cheryl Cole both voted to keep JLS and Dannii voted for Rachel, leaving the final decision to Simon - who kept the boys.
