That was a pretty intense sing-off.
It was another drama-filled evening on tonight’s X Factor and with Ché Chesterman the first one safe into next week’s show, the tension heightened.
Finally, it came down to Lauren and 4th Impact to go head-to-head in a sing-off, with Simon Cowell having the final say.
The music mogul deemed it to be the “best sing-off we’ve ever had”, but ultimately decided to send Lauren home, to leave the vote at deadlock.
. @4thImpactMusic – 2 votes @laurenmurray – 2 votes It’s Deadlock! #XFactor

The result went back to the public vote and ultimately, it was 4th Impact who were sent home in a move that shocked Twitter…
