Bratavio first to be booted out of X Factor live shows

Flamboyant duo Bratavio became the first act to be booted off this year's X Factor during the live shows.

The pair - Bradley and Octavio - were eliminated after losing to Finnish hopeful Saara Aalto in the sing-off.

The novelty act said they were "really proud" of themselves and "thankful" for the opportunity as they left the ITV show.

They found themselves in the bottom two having failed to impress the public with their medley of 90s songs on Saturday night, which Simon Cowell slammed as a "musical horror movie".

In the sing-off, they performed Yazz track The Only Way Is Up, while Aalto sang Sia's Alive.

Judges Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne each chose to save their own acts, while Nicole Scherzinger and Cowell sent Bratavio packing.

Cowell said it was like "a guinea pig versus a racehorse".
