X Factor rejects Kandy Rain have insisted that they had much more planned for their X Factor journey and many more tricks up their sleeves.

“We would have gone all out – we had a lot of tricks up our sleeve but unfortunately you don’t get to see it because you didn’t vote,” said Coco Lloyd told MSN.

Dance teacher Chemmane Applewhaite, 26, added: “We would have got bigger and better. We want to get people talking about what we’re going to sing and what we’re going to wear. We want to be different, and we’re not scared to take risks. We don’t want to be the same. The X Factor lack people like ourselves. We’re fearsome and fun!”

“We were feeling really upset last night, but we’ve got to see the positive in this,” said Khatereh Dovani, 24.

Azi Jegbefume added: “We didn’t deserve to go out. We did a great performance – our Fighter song was so strong – and we went out on a high.”
