Lauren Platt
Lauren Platt has become the latest contestant to be eliminated from The X Factor.
The singer was in the bottom two this weekend alongside Andrea Faustini, and after some internal deliberation, the judges all bar Cheryl Fernandez-Versini sent Lauren packing.
Talking about the result, Lauren said: "Firstly, I want to say thank you to everybody who voted for me and got me this far.
"Secondly, I want to say thank you to the most incredible women I have ever met in my life."
This elimination means Andrea will join Ben Haenow and Fleur East in this coming weekend's final, live and staged from Wembley Arena.
Performances on the show last night included one from X Factor USA group Fifth Harmony, Sam Bailey and Idina Menzel with special guest Michael Bublé.
