Talia Dean became the second act to leave the ITV singing competition, following Spencer Sutherland last night.
The wildcard act performed a slowed down version of That's What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction.
It means that mentor Nicole Scherzinger has lost the first act from her Overs category.
The 32-year-old contestant from Hounslow thanked the show for allowing her back to perform to a live audience.

So hard Talia. It's always going to be hard coming back as a wildcard
Host Dermot O'Leary said: "So hard Talia. It's always going to be hard coming back as a wildcard."
Putting on a brave face, Talia explained that she could "not be sad at all".
Talia said: "I just think that they're all just so amazing.
"There's no competing with that. I've had an amazing time and I cannot be sad at all. This has been a ride."
