X Factor viewers had a nervous wait to find out whether Sam Black had made it through tonight’s live show.

He was the last contestant to be announced to have been voted through by the public, with Alisah Bonaobra being sent home.

And he couldn’t hide his delight when presenter Dermot O’Leary called his name, hugging mentor Louis Walsh before practically skipping off stage.

In George Michael week, Sam sang his rendition of I’m Your Man.
