Nicole Scheringer has pleaded with the people of Britain to lift their phones and vote for her boy, Rylan Clark.

The X Factor judge is proud of the efforts the former model made on tonight’s live show, when he performed a totally mental mashup of Gangnam Style, Groove His In The Heart and Pump Up The Jam, preceded by a little taster of Take That’s Back For Good.

Gary Barlow wasn’t a fan, but then who ever expected him to be and he blasted Katie Price’s pal saying:

“Rylan if this was a competition for how many songs you an kill in 2 minutes you would win hands down. You can’t sing. ”

However, speaking on The Xtra Factor, Scherzinger admitted that she’d hate for him to end up in the bottom two again tomorrow, saying:

“I hope he’s not in the bottom two because he’s the life and the fun of the entire show. He’s given it his all.”

The brunette beauty added:

“I am so proud of him. He worked it out tonight, he was embracing Gary Bore-low and I need people to vote for him.”

She giggled:

“Who doesn’t love a right old laugh and a bit of Essex?”
