Since leaving the X Factor house Chenai has revealed that she is not at all surprised by her mentor Louis’ decision to save Nicholas rather than her last Saturdau night.

“It wasn’t that difficult a decision for Louis to make,” Chenai said. “I always knew that if it was down to me and one of the boys, he’d keep one of the boys, because they’re more likely to win.”

“Louis has turned to me before and said ‘Boys pull the votes in’. He’s in it to win it as well as us,” she said.

When asked about how she felt about leaving the show, Chenai said: “It’s just a bit surreal, it’s surreal when you make it and it’s surreal when you don’t.”

“You look forward to going home and seeing everybody and you’re a bit gutted that you’ve left the competition.”

But hopefully this won’t be the last we see of Chenai. She said “I definitely still want to go into music and I just need to figure out how I’m going to do that,”
