Niki's Out Of The X

Niki EvansIt's the end of the road for Niki Evans.

As she was voted off The X Factor this weekend.

The 34-year-old dinner lady failed to make it to the final, as a public vote put her bottom of the four remaining acts on Saturday night.

She had earlier belted out a rendition of Fleetwood Mac's Songbird and the Whitney Houston classic One Moment In Time.

As his last remaining act, Niki's eviction is likely to have devastated her mentor Louis Walsh, but the wannabe singer was gracious in her defeat.

She said that even if she had got through, she would have given her place to fellow contestant, Leon Jackson, who appeared alongside her in the bottom two acts.

"Leon is only five years older than my oldest son. There is no way I would take it off a young kid like that," Niki told reporters in a post-show press conference.

"It's a horrible situation to be in and if they had called my name - I would've said to give it to him instead. I believe in him that much."

So all that remains is for Leon, Rhydian Roberts and Same Difference to battle it out in this Saturday's grand X Factor finale - bring it on.
