The eleven remaining finalists sing for the second time. It's a good night all round for most of the acts and it is difficult to call who will be going home. Phillip gives a much better performance than last week. Once all eleven acts have finished singing the phone lines are opened.

The X Factor (UK) Show Summary

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.
