The X Factor turned up the tension on Sunday as the live shows edge closer. We left off with wondering what would happen to Jay James on Saturday and it's now time to see if Simon swaps or sticks as the rest over the Over 25's battle it out, with Cheryl wanting rid of one particular singer.
Jay James captured everyone's hearts from the get-go and Simon awarded him with a seat, but, of course, this means he has to say goodbye to someone. And it's goodbye to Kisela Berice, the first person Simon gave a chair too. However, it wasn't who Cheryl wanted as she whispered that he should get rid of Raign.
And Cheryl didn't stop there. She definitely isn't a fan of Raign and when Fleur East wowed the crowd and the judges someone had to lose a seat, no guesses as to whose Cheryl's choice would be. She says to Simon "Raign, I don't like her" and she gets her way as the controversial contestant leaves complaining that "there's no-one like me in the competition".

Now that Cheryl won't be bothered by Raign anymore it's Helen Fulthorpe's go. She is definitely feeling the pressure, but is ready to fight and sings for her kids as they cheer along in the audience. She even reduces Mel B to tears and Cheryl exclaims, "you made Scary Spice cry!" The crowd chant "seat" at Simon and he has to listen to them and get her sat down!
However, now he has to make a really tough decision and say goodbye to someone else. He originally asks Lizzie to stand up, but he has to change his mind as Cheryl covers her eyes with the tension rising in the audience. In the end it's Janet that has to give up her seat and Simon's got his final six!
Heading to Judges Houses is – Ben Haenow, Stevi Ritchie, Lizzie Pattinson, Helen Fulthorpe, Jay James and Fleur East. But you'll eventually make the live shows?
