There were some shock decisions made on tonight's episode of The X Factor which saw some of the judges' and audience favourites sent home before the live finals.

Retail worker Sammi Brookes, 31, was told she was going home in a surprise decision by Over 25s mentor Louis Walsh, but was put through at the eleventh hour after wacky contestant Goldie quit the competition.

Luke Lucas, Marcus collins and Craig Colton were the first of the boys group to hear their fate from Gary Barlow at his home in LA.


The groups: Rhythmix, new lineup The Risk, 2 Shoes and Nu Vibe will all perform on the live shows next week

Luke broke broke down in tears when Gary told him he'd failed to make his final four.

The sweet-faced 16-year-old admitted before hearing the bad news that he believed his audition the day before for Gary and Robbie had let him down. 'I wasn't happy with my performance yesterday,' he said.

'I look back at the very first audition you knocked it out of the park, you were exceptional. So I was really excited yesterday. But I was disappointed,' Gary told him.

'I'm gutted,' Luke told Dermot after his tearful encounter with Gary.
It was good news though for Craig and Marcus, who both got through to the live finals.
