Tonight saw the last ever X Factor performance of Eton Road.

As soon as the bottom two acts were announced it was obvious that Eton Road were going home. Not only was it their second time in the bottom two, but Simon Cowell loves Ben and gives him nothing but praise from week to week.

Predictably when the final vote fell to Simon he chose Eton Road top go home.

It hopefully isn’t the end for the band though, other than the X Factor winner they are the only act to have been promised a recording deal when the show ends.

Louis Walsh has publicly backed the band and promised that he will get them a recording deal and he will manage the band, with or without Simon Cowell’s help.
