Dermot is back with the results of the sixth public vote of the series. The finalists perform together live on stage. Nicole Scherzinger and Olly Murs perform live on stage. The show features the world premiere of the Band Aid 30 track and official video. Dermot reveals that Stevi and Jay are in the bottom two this week and will have to perform once again in the final showdown. The judges are then split in their decision and the result goes back to the public vote. Dermot then reveals that Jay has the least amount of public votes and is eliminated from the competition.
Each X Factor judge is in charge of a different section of singers on the show. The judges do not know what section of the competition they will be in charge of until the audition process has finished. Each judge then has to pick four acts to take forward to the live section of the show. Each week the two acts with the lowest amount of public votes have to sing again in a final showdown after which the judges decide who should be eliminated. Once there are only five acts left remaining it becomes left to the public to decide who should go.
