The bookies’ favourite to leave the show faced Italian contestant Andrea Faustini in the sing-off after being voted in the bottom two by the public.

“The one at the top is Andrea, I’m sending Stevi home,” said Mel B.
Cheryl Fernandez-Versini praised both of the performers but chose to send home Stevi.
The vote came down to Louis Walsh, who told Stevi he didn’t know he could “sing that good” but eventually chose to send the 33-year-old home.
Ben Haenow, Stereo Kicks and Fleur East were first to be called by Dermot O’Leary as the acts that would continue on to next week. Lauren Platt was later confirmed as safe from the judges’ vote.
