Stanmore mum voted off the X Factor
It was third time unlucky for a Stanmore resident as she was finally voted off reality TV show the X Factor.
Ex-drug addict Rachel Hylton, 26, had made it through to the last six of the popular ITV show.
Last night she got to meet Take That and do a live performance one of their songs.
The mum-of-five ended up as one of the two least popular perfomers after the viewers' votes were counted and forced into a sing-off, her third, against boy band JLS.
Despite praise from the judges for her rendition of I'm Not Leaving Without You she was sent home after Simon Cowell decided she had been in too many sing-offs and was despatched by three votes to one.

No way was it the media who turned the public against Rachel Hylton - she did that all by herself.
Rachel does need to blame the media she was lucky that she got at least a chance to appear herself, honestly speking she it was all self inflicted, i thingk she tried to impress the judges by being too friendly.
In my openion she should have never been allowed to qualify there are more talents out there in the community.
