Last week the X Factor judges chose their final three acts to take to the live shows and it’s safe to say the nation was divided.

(The heat office was in turmoil over Louis Walsh’s decision to send home adorbz Jack Mason, tbh. And don’t even get us started on the groups.)

Dermot then dropped a huge bombshell at the end of Sunday night’s show and revealed the public could vote to bring back one Wild Card contestant from each category.

And the results have been revealed.

“Few things divide fans like previously axed contestants being given another shot, but the public have spoken,” a source revealed to The Sun.

"After voting closed on Monday, Leon, Alisah, Jack and Joel and Talia were told they’d nabbed the four remaining spots.

"They’re all beyond excited and are working tirelessly to prove viewers got it right and that they are worthy of a spot.

The Overs Wild Card: Talia Dean

Talia was recently in hot water with X Factor bosses over a video allegedly giving away show secrets.

In other X Factor news, they’ve made a HUGE change to the live shows this year, and we’re not sure we can deal with it.

They’re cancelling the sing-off!

Fans of the show will be aware of the super-dramatic Sunday show, in which the two acts with the lowest votes have to sing before the judges, before they decide who’s booted off the show.

But now their fate will lie solely in the public’s hands.
