Belle Amie have admitted that they weren’t expecting to leave The X Factor last night.
The manufactured girl group faced the sing off against Katie Waissel on the Sunday results show. Katie chose to sing Trust In Me by Etta James for her save me song, while the girls chose Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson. The performances split the panel, with Simon and Louis voting to save the group, while Dannii and Cheryl wanted to send them home. As the show went to deadlock, Dermot O’Leary revealed that Belle Amie had polled the lowest number of public votes and so were eliminated from the competition.
On This Morning, Phillip Schofield asked if they had expected the outcome, given that girls groups rarely do well on the ITV talent show. Sophia Wardman replied:
We were always prepared because every week you need to be prepared to be in the bottom and then eventually leave.
