The 22-year-old hopeful was knocked out of the competition tonight (21.11.15) after he received the lowest amount of public votes.

After his exit, he said: "I've loved it. Thank you to everyone who voted and thank you to everyone who didn't vote as well because I'm going to do my thing now and I'm going to meet my fans. I'm happy and I'm ready to go meet my fans."

His judge Nick Grimshaw added: "Mason is such a joy to work with and I'm gutted that he's going because I won't get to work with him every day. He's such a great visionary and has so many good ideas.

"He's exactly the kind of pop star there should be. And I know that he's going to go on and do great things. I'm not worried about the future of Mason at all."

Meanwhile, earlier in the show, drama ensued as Nick claimed contestant Anton Stephans was putting on an act. The comments didn't sit well with the 'X Factor' hopeful and he fired back an angry tirade.

Anton later apologised for his outburst but before he could, Simon Cowell told Nick angrily: "Not everyone here is a Radio 1 artist, Nick. This is about someone older than the rest who has a beautiful voice ... I don't think you quite get it."
