Published: Sunday 4th Nov 2012 by Sam

The X Factor 2012 saw its 5th set of eliminations tonight. Find out who’s heading home this week…

{An international phenomenon, local versions of the show show now air in the US, Italy, France and beyond. The brain-child of Simon Cowell, The X Factor is responsible for birthing the careers of Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke, One Direction, Cher Lloyd and JLS.

Judging the hopefuls are Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos, original panelist Louis Walsh, and newcomer Nicole Scherzinger}.

After registering the lowest public vote of the contestants, Rylan Clarke and Kye Sones were two acts put on the chopping block.

The weekly sing-off proceeded with Rylan taking to the stage first singing ‘Kissing You’, with Kye following.

In the end, it was Rylan who was granted a pass onto next week’s show, after the judges were unable to come to a majority decision – reverting the final decision to the public vote. With Kye polling lowest, he was sent home.

The X Factor continues on ITV1 next Saturday.
