And the wannabe admitted he thought it should have been him who left the competition this week.

Becoming even more emotional, Rylan sobbed: 'One hundred per cent. I just feel so guilty. I can't thank people enough for voting for me, but Ella shouldn't have gone.'

He said: 'People love Rylan; everybody loves Rylan and he's so entertaining so I don't see why he couldn't be in the final.'

She fumed: 'It's ridiculous, this situation, it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. People thought she was safe.
There was nothing wrong about her performance. This week was one of the best she's ever done.'
Meanwhile, James has vowed to come back fighting next week after admitting he thought he was 'a gonner' after facing the teen starlet in the sing-off.
He told Caroline and Olly: 'Ella is the strongest 16-year-old I've ever met in my life. She's the most talented 16-year-old girl in the country. I thought I was a gonner when I was up against her, but I just want to wish her good luck and say I love you lots.'
