Rai-Elle Williams' run on X-Factor ends as Croydon girl voted off

The Croydon teenager was one of two girls from Sharon Osbourne's group to be voted and the second double elimination of the weekend.

Osbourne looked stunned as her contestants got the chop, and appeared to utter a swear word before putting her hand over her mouth.

And let me just say that @TGFM_RaiElle smashed that opening number - I wish there wasn't a double elimination! #XFactor pic.twitter.com/lafyi7ALy1

Rai-Elle also impressed Nicole Scherzinger with the judge telling Williams she was like "a little baby British Lauryn Hill."

Twitter was stunned at the decision, with many in disbelief that they wouldn't be seeing Rai-Elle go further on the show.

Resilient as alway, Rai-Elle didn't let the decision get her down.

“You are going to see me again," she said.

"It isn't the end for me.”
