No regrets after Relley C’s second knockout blow

-

Relley C said she has no regrets about returning to the X Factor for a second try as she was eliminated from the competitio­n once again.

She received her marching orders after losing to girl group Four of Diamonds in the sing-off during last night’s results show.

It was the second time the Birmingham singer’s X Factor dream has ended – she made it to the judges’ houses stage in 2013 before getting the chop.

But she said she has no regrets about taking her shot at pop stardom again.

“There was a time when I was like, you know what, I might just give up on music altogether, and I’m so glad I didn’t because it brought me here,” she said.

The 26-year-old found herself in the bottom two after Saturday night’s Diva show, where she gave a powerful rendition of Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin.

In the sing-off, Relley sang Bonnie Raitt’s I Can’t Make You Love Me while Four of Diamonds tackled Who Are You by Fifth Harmony.

Judges Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh chose to save their own acts – Osbourne mentors Relley in the overs while Walsh is in charge of the groups.

Former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinge­r appeared to struggle to pick, saying she loved both acts, before eventually opting to send Relley home.

Simon Cowell decided to save Four of Diamonds, saying he wanted to keep the act with the “most potential”.
