Kingsland Road

Kingsland Road

Kingsland Road left 'X Factor' after competing in the sing-off yesterday.

The east London boy band - which includes members Josh, Matt, Connor, Thompson and Jay - were ousted from the ITV competition by judges Nicole Scherzinger, Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne, after an "incredible" sing-off against Tamera Foster who's been tipped to win the whole competition.

Asked about their experience, they said: "We loved it. Thank you Gary for everything."

The group's mentor Gary Barlow, who only has one finalist left, was upset that both acts landed in the bottom two but opted to save the boys after they performed 'I Won't Let You Go' by James Morrison.

He said: "I have to say it - the public have got this wrong, they really have tonight. Both of you don't deserve to be in the bottom two."

Nicole voted to save her act Tamera and called her "my shining star" after the teenager sang Whitney Houston's 'I Have Nothing'.

After hearing the decision, Gary told the show's host Dermot O'Leary: "These guys were together for two years before they joined us. They should stick with what they're doing. They are a hit band and they will be a hit band in the future - I'm certain of it."

He added: "I want to remind everyone out there that this is a singing competition. That's all I have to say."
