The new X Factor groups only got 24 hours to practice for their final bootcamp performance last month, however at least one managed to still impress the judges.

On last night’s show, the judges were seen calling aside a group of 24 contestants, who they had earlier eliminated and asking them to join together and form six different groups.

The first one to perform in Wembley Arena the next day, was Nu Vibe and band member Bradley Johnson admitted:

“When I thought I was going to be sent home I was just so gutted, heartbroken. Now it just makes me want it so bad. The amount of time we’ve had to practice and be together. We’ve totally took that and practiced so much and become best friends.”

The boys went on to sing Bruno Mars’ Grenade.

Afterwards Gary Barlow seemed impressed and confessed:

“Well, for me that’s the surprise of the day.”

Louis Walsh added:

“They have the look. It’s only been 24 hours.”

Tune in tonight to see Nu Vibe and the five other groups performing for the panel.
