X Factor 2012: MK1′s Charlie Rundle hits the town but insists ‘it wasn’t our time to go’
Charlie Rundle was not crying into her cocoa over her X Factor elimination last night, instead she decided to hit the town and live it up.
The MK1 singer was voted off the ITV show yesterday, along with her bandmate Sim, after ending up in the singoff with 30 year old Kye Sones.
She has a full day of press interviews and TV appearances planned for today, but while other unlucky acts have previously headed straight back to the hotel after the live show ended, Charlie admitted that she went out to party instead.
She told Phillip Schofield on This Morning:
“I went out last night straight after the show and I haven’t been back to the hotel since. Anyone who had a photo of me last night will recognise this t shirt.
I was celebrating, I was celebrating having a good time.”
The duo gave their best performance of the series on Saturday night’s club classics show but it wasn’t enough to save them and Charlie confessed that she found last night’s results show ‘intense’ and doesn’t think the British public got it right.
She added:
“It was intense. We still feel it wasn’t our time to go.”
Sim agreed and he admitted that he was shocked by the news that their group was in the bottom two, as he thought they’d been strong enough to avoid it. He explained:
“We felt that we’d given such a great performance on the Saturday night, we felt optimistic that we wouldn’t be in the bottom two.”
He isn’t sure the X factor is quite ready for urban acts yet and added:
“It doesn’t seem like they’re ready for it. Hopefully next year there will be more urban acts coming through.”
Dermot O’Leary has blamed the judges for the band’s elimination, saying that Tulisa and Gary were too harsh with them on Saturday’s show. Do you agree? Leave your comments below…

No they were just crap!My 9yr old has more urban street cred than those 2 put together! All this talk about “we’ll be back” what a laugh!They will be forgotten about in a weeks time. I’m more dissapointed (furious more like!) that the orange one is still in,surely he can’t have that many fans?
they will be back there current but i agree about rylan
They should not of been vote off, they were the freshest act the Xfactor has seen in a long time but I think they where trying to please the publi to much and should of stuck to music they usally do. Check out their stuff on soundcloud it’s amazing!
Two singing clowns dubbed a disaster by x factor viewers
I loved MK1, the X factor just lost one viewing because aweful Rylan and Chris Maloney are still in! Plus, I heard there was a phone scam where the MK1 phone lines were down for 9 hours, unfair much!
mk1 are the best band that the xfactor had ever had and the jujes were stupid for letting them go i hope they get a record deal
i would love to see a live concert of mk1 that would be my dream
i love you mk1 !!!

Lucy Spraggan to win <3
i love mk1 they shouldnt have gone. I think that rylan and christpher should go. But rylan is cool too even tho he cant sing. TEAM MK1 ( X FACTOR SUCKS)~!
MK1 were amazin on the x factor but i think its true that the x factor isn’t ready for urban acts. They were both amazing and have inspired me lots and tbh. Dont think they need the x factor they will still make it big and hopefully they will release an album :3
