Published: Sunday 11th Nov 2012 by Sam

The X Factor 2012 saw its 6th 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, District 3 and Union J were two acts put on the chopping block.

The weekly sing-off proceeded with District 3 taking to the stage first singing Bruno Mars‘ ‘Just The Way You Are’, with Union J following with Adele‘s ‘Set Fire To The Rain’.

In the end, it was Union J who were granted a pass onto next week’s show, after the judges (sans the group’s mentor Louis Walsh, who vetoed his vote) came to a majority decision – sending District 3 home.

The X Factor continues on ITV1 next Saturday.
